Same. Not very encouraging to think you're stuck working a cash register at the end of the loving world.

I think the far more terrifying thought is that it's not the end of the world. It's just the start of a much worse one. Until recently I believed that the inevitable nuclear war would put us out of our misery for good but it seems that nuclear winter isn't likely at all. I imagine people will still be clinging on for (possibly) hundreds more years in the irradiated deserts of the future. Who knows, maybe they find a sustainable niche in hell and humanity is doomed to survive for thousands or even hundreds of thousands more years.

But when I say "the end of the loving world" that would probably include humanity being reduced to a few bands of scavengers. And I wasn't even talking about nukes. petit choux has issued a correction as of 14:57 on Sep 20, 2021 |

Octavia Butler probably hit the nail on the head. Whoever's best at denying reality will get the keys to the kingdom, they'll make it illegal to speak ill of government or big industry in any way.

Well, making sure workers dont die of heat stroke when their factories are hit by extreme heatwaves technically counts as mitigating something to do with climate change. I'll allow it.

Hexigrammus posted:That's some stiff competition in the Pants making GBS threads Burnover category, Australia's going to have to step up its game. Funny story about that wreck: they suddenly decided to clean it up in the winter of 2013 as part of a PR campaign for one of the oil pipeline projects. "Look at us, we can totally handle an oil spill in the worst conditions!!" type thing. The ship had 700 tonnes of Bunker fuel on it when it went down. The coast guard recovered 35 tonnes, after spending fifty million dollars, and declared the project a complete success. Minrad posted:just realized rime named this thread as such to help stop posting in the dnd climate change thread It was more that I strongly loathe that people equate "stopping carbon emissions" == "western lifestyles continue unchanged, yaaaaaay!", which has been the thrust of most previous threads and is certainly the central theme of the D&D thread. The "climate" has already changed and will continue changing, that's not really the concern. Biosphere is hosed from a hundred angles all leading back to the ecological footprint of industrial civilization, any proposed solutions on the table come exclusively from a viewpoint of perpetuating this circumstance while avoiding any negative repercussions - rather than addressing the footprint issue. Thus, describing it as just "climate change" at this point is some lib brained poo poo which I am totally sick of.

The thing that hit me recently is the realization that thermonuclear war is one of the softer landings for the species at this point - if it happens soon enough to effectively de-industrialize and end emissions anyway. Except lol, no, even that wouldn't be enough w/o some magical carbon capture tech after the exchange. That's some dark poo poo.

petit choux posted:I think the only point of the video is to face facts for once instead of buying into the MIC's lies. Just for its own sake. There is no happy ending and there's no personal happiness when you know that all your works and even your progeny will be snuffed out due to a world view that you take part in and benefit from. I really dont understand this point of view. There is plenty I still want to do for myself in this life, climate change or not. If I am lucky, most of the worst effects wont happen till after I am dead. There is also absolutely nothing I can do about any of this and I am not directly responsible for decades of bad neglectful climate policy, so I can sleep easy at night. I dont have kids and am not planning to have any, so that is someone elses problem to be honest. And if you are having kids fully knowing whats around the corner, lol, lmao - I guess your children will truly know what its like to be owned. You can rattle your tiny cage all you want, but no one is listening and the world is already dead, so I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by being miserable about it.

You're correct, as long as there's some habitat that won't immediately kill humans, you'll find them there.
