Climate change children of men is already covered, it's called children of men. Just replace 'mysterious stoppage in births' with 'plastic' and it's seamless. Even Brexit is accounted for.

There is always more and it is always exploitable. Besides, we're neglecting the Tank Girl future where people routinely have their water sucked out of them punitively. Sedisp posted:Narrator: It happened in their lifetime I keep trying to convince my parents to invest in at least a month's worth of shelf-stable food as a hedge against supply issues, but Boomers really don't want to imagine a life where they'll need to show up at a supermarket at ~3am for the slimmest chance of procuring food for the week. Oh well, think of the FRIENDS you'll make in that line, wondering who's concealed carrying, whether you'll be accosted and robbed by gangs...I CAN'T WAIT!

CODChimera posted:maybe.... poo poo will have to be completely hosed beyond belief by that point tho I have complete faith in the fact that any suicide pills distributed in the US will have to go through your health insurance policy. I mean, Children of Men was in the UK. It might've been post-Apocalyptic but the NHS still probably covered it. "Generic euthanasia options are unreliable! Quietus is a proven solution for a dignified end to a miserable existence. Quietus is a lethal medication. Do not take Quietus if for some inexplicable reason you wish to remain alive. If you cannot afford Quietus, AstraZeneca may be able to help."

kater posted:prolly just some more overly optimistic experts Yeah. If people choose not to roll up their sleeves and find and support Democrats willing to improve our climate policy, that's on them. Once they're elected, then we can hold them accountable. The only two realistic options are to do nothing, or to find Democratic candidates who take climate change seriously and vote them into office and do the work of holding them accountable. edit - Basically, better things are just over the horizon. If people choose not to work for them, that's on them.

We already tried 50+ years of misinformation and ignoring the problem, but lets keep doing it because i don't want to hurt their feelings of the poor kids. its much better if they blindly stumble into the apocalypse.
