Don’t think I need to summarize this one. This should be world news right now. This is bad news for everyone.

    So? I can’t WAIT until Trump takes Office and makes it ILLEGAL to MENTION Climate Change! It’s not like it’s going to kill the Majority of People through Dehydration Starvation and EXTREME Acts of Weather! It’s all just PROPAGANDA to sell us SOLAR PANELS!

    -Republicans who Breathe In Toxic Gas Fumes!

      Trump seems to lack object permanence because he thinks if you don’t measure something, it isn’t happening.

      I honestly don’t know how you have the motivation to keep this up.

    So when I get to the section titled “what can we do?” I just stop reading, because what’s the fucking point?

        I was actually thinking about this last night. I was considering building a list of people that I should visit.

        If we truly reach a point where the world becomes so horribly unlivable for so many people then I will go pay the people responsible a visit. They shouldn’t be allowed to live a happily ever after in their climate compounds funded by their destruction of the planet.

          They won’t. The truth is biodome didnt work. They may stave off an extra 10-20 years underground but they are foolish if they think they will be spared. These effects span hundreds of years. This truly is our only sinking ship in an ocean of stars.

      I think the time has passed, this article pretty much confirms it. Along with the US election. But I don’t know how much difference that really made.

      What’s left to do is enjoy your loved ones. Be present with them. If the human species survives this, I imagine it will be small pockets and communities that band together for mutual aid rather than nation states.

        Short of blowing up oil infrastructure, what else should I be doing? I already eat less meat, work from home, buy renewable electricity, have a heat pump, avoid driving when I can, vote regularly, and don’t fly and it’s still not enough.

          I’ve been thinking that we need to create a voting block of people who will vote for climate emergency policies. Similar to how unions have political strength due to advising their members who to vote for, this organization would advise members on who in local elections is the best for positive climate initiatives.

          I think a block of voters is needed because right now climate wasn’t even an issue in the US election. We need to organise so that these policies are a target for politicians looking to obtain votes.

              I figured that something like that must already exist, but I had never heard of it. Probably why they’re not very effective.

              Oh, and thanks for linking them. I’ll check it out and at least sign up for the newsletter.

              Edit nevermind, the newsletter hasn’t had a release since December 2021.

              Go then. There are other elections than these.

              Sorry, re-read The Gunslinger recently.

              I was actually thinking about the Canadian election that is coming up.

      I don’t know what we are supposed to do. It’s not over, we still have a fight left on our hands. I’m just going to be depressed the rest of the day and hope my wife doesn’t notice bcz it’s her birthday. I’ll figure out how I can help later.

    Does it mean, for instance, Europe will have the same temperature than Canada and north of US (same latitude)? Without speaking about all the other dramatic effects…

      Basically, yes, winters in Europe are mild bcz of the ocean currents. England, in particular, will start having seriously cold winters. The weather will also no longer be stable if this happens.

      Well, as a Finn I am not too keen, our weather will turn to Siberian style winter…

      But because the heat doesn’t move, some parts might become so hot that nothing lives there.
