I gotta admit it would be pretty goddamned funny if Trump immediately appointed a dozen people in high level spots who loving despise Putin so he just tells Assange to release all the RNC and Trump stuff he's sitting on to make a point

Of course he's going to do this. Putin doesn't care who won, his goal is to discredit the United States and liberal democracy generally

Catnip is the opiate of the masses

The transition team has a 200-day trade "plan"

highlights:

-"Stop the TPP" is one item, despite that being a legislative job not an executive one
-start renegotiating NAFTA on day 1, "consider formally withdrawing" by day 200, because trade talks between multiple trillion-dollar economies are so quick to negotiate right? specifically:

quote:

On Day 1, Trump would begin reforming NAFTA, including ordering the Commerce Department and International Trade Commission to begin a study on what the ramifications of withdrawing from the treaty would be, and what would be required legislatively to do so. He would also have the US Trade Representative notify Mexico and Canada that the US intends to propose some amendments to the treaty, which could include measures on currency manipulation, lumber, country of origin labeling and environmental and safety standards.
that tru
fun fact: mexico and canada both have floating exchange rates so they can't manipulate their currencies. lumber is the subject of an ongoing trade dispute with canada and we just spent a year trying to negotiate an end to it, so bringing that into these NAFTA talks seems like a good way to doom them forever.

-there wouldn't be any downside to withdrawing from NAFTA because they'd just negotiate bilateral deals with Mexico and Canada (a great tactic for when you're campaigning to be president or leave the EU and need a handwavy explanation for why nothing bad can ever happen)
-lots of fretting about Chinese currency manipulation, which was a real and valid concern like ten years ago, but i think at this point they've just fixated on it

tl;dr: whoever wrote this learned everything they know about international trade from reading the WSJ, if we're being generous

On the one hand, getting a Waterworld apocalypse would be cool because I like the ocean, and the marine bio nerd in me wants to think that maybe the oceans won't be hosed.

On the other hand, jet-skis are dumb and getting a rad desert apocalypse would really incentivize me to learn how to weld.

in a "melted icecaps, everything floods" scenario, the oceans are basically made too hot and acidic to support much beyond jellyfish and algae blooms.

I got into a minor tiff with a friend for saying the safety pin and sassy Biden memes thing were dumb as hell and counter productive because nothing about this is funny and safety pins don't do poo poo to help anybody

Trump is such a sore winner he now has to blast losing the popular vote because it is eating him up inside. My prediction that people will soon get very very sick of hearing from him looks more and more likely to come to pass. The man just does not know how to stop. A president is best left in the background while wonks and nutjobs like us pour over news and details. The burnout will happen and he will not know how to take it.

Bad news, the actual climatepocalypse looks an awful lot like the world we already have if you live in the west, just less like the west. Food and water shortages will have people in the more affluent parts of the world looking like field workers in India. It'll be miserable, but not fatal. The couple billion people already riding the razor's edge of starvation will die horribly, possibly in nuclear fire. Average human life expectancy will dip by quite a lot, but not so much that our descendants won't have time to breed and pass on a little knowledge before dying. The thing I'll miss the most is kittens.

We've had it bad before though, really. My biggest non-pet regret is that when we start to pick ourselves back up in a few hundred years we'll all be a bit more samey.

<5k breeding pairs. I see the vast diversity of plumage and function in modern birds and get sad at the thought of our likely lost diversity.

It's actually even worse than that. Staggering loss of diversity in the ocean is going to end up being the root cause of a lot of problems for people, not the least of which is going to be starvation on a massive scale. There's still a lot of places where fish is the primary protein. But you're right, humanity is essentially going to get forced through a fine sieve that filters out all but the already extremely wealthy (and maybe some very lucky brown people).
