Perry Mason Jar posted:I'm actually not totally convinced what the proper course of action. It is my feeling that Truth is paramount at all times - this includes that if I know a Truth it is wrong for me to hide that truth from you. I'm not really in the business of protecting people's feelings, I feel, because... well, I think because it's a bit of an insult really? I don't know whether someone will crumble before this truth or not and assuming they will doesn't seem correct. More than that if they are scared it will only be through facing directly that they can build courage. They will need courage. Yeah there's a difference between bringing up imminent climate destruction when your family is talking about football at Thanksgiving and responding truthfully to a direct request for more information.

Perry Mason Jar posted:How farfetched is this really though? Is there not a space where climate realism and conspiracy theory can coincide? It's actually more complicated than just mocking the conspiracy theorists because they can be kind of right in the wrong way. No, Chevron didn't set out to destroy the dam that an Appalachian community spent almost a century developing around specifically so they could buy hundreds of lake houses that are now perched on muddy cliffs at firesale value but if the decades they spent destroying the environment, intentionally, with full knowledge of the type of harm they could be committing creates that situation then they'll capitalize on it. The people claiming that the roads were designed wrong in BC specifically to gently caress over Vancouver are just trying to cope with being completely hosed by an unstoppable force that can't be predicted or influenced and the specifics aren't really important at this point. Does it really matter if we find out Exxon and George W Bush had maps of Vancouver 20 years ago with elaborate plans to emit carbon to cause these floods to get cheap real estate? This stuff would only be important if you were the type of person that thinks there is some immediate direct way to influence the weather and that someone, right now, is targeting a city with the HAARP array or whatever to hit it with tornados. That's dangerously close to thinking this can be stopped, influenced or reversed though. All we need to do is identify and prosecute the bad actors to stop them from making such wild weather events for their own purposes!

FistEnergy posted:yeah I think assuming climate change will lead to the end of life on earth is just hubris and being unwilling to imagine life moving on without us. Climate change could definitely lead to the end of Human life on Earth though. No, I think that once the seas and ice caps can't absorb any more of the surplus heat these greenhouse gases have created we still will have a runaway greenhouse gas scenario, and it is likely that the temperature of the earth will exceed that where organic life can persist. Now the microorganisms that live deep under the earth and seabed may survive and flourish but yeah, for any practical purposes the earth will be lifeless and incapable of supporting human life. I give it 50 years max. Any children born starting about 10 years ago will die in it. And Jeff Bezos in his secret underground mansion and his handmaids may survive on in a refrigerated underground stronghold, along with Vladimir Putin and a few other oligarchs and billionaires, never to see the sun or go outdoors again. They won't have any kind of support to manufacture anything. Which is why Bezos is working on robots so much.

abruptly losing the concept of "Cold" seems like one of those things we are going to let take us by surprise as a society despite it being perfectly obvious now that once we store enough energy we just won't have Ice or Winters anymore. Too bad all of our policy and discourse is extremely focused on raw carbon emission modeling and the most crude understanding of +Carbon/+Temperature.

There are a lot of idiots who cheer on climate change because they don't like the cold. They all drive lifted pickup trucks like total assholes. I wonder if there's a connection....

Furthermore that it's ice? Ice that conveniently never melted? While also being soil that was impervious to shovels because it was somehow conveniently ice? Do you not see how your story makes no sense? Permanent Frost? Okay, Soros, I'll let you give me a vaccine now because Climate Change destroyed the permanent frost and unicorns.

Forget flood insurance, I wonder when auto insurers remove flood coverage from comprehensive policies in Miami or just jack the rates through the roof. That's gotta happen first given the way people just actively try to destroy their cars in flood waters.

Makes me wonder how much money insurance companies have dumped into studies about upcoming climate change damages and are sitting on the results (except for stealthily excluding damage types from future policies or amending existing ones).

Insurance companies are all about risk management so they're the last industry that would intentionally blindfold themselves. There's a reason you see a lot of people saying that insurance companies are basically the canary in the coal mine for climate-induced economic risk.

That's why the National Flood Insurance Program exists, so people can stay insured in flooding regions even when it's dumb. Everyone is taking on the risk. Miami Beach participates in the NFIP.

lmaoquote:84% of buildings on Miami Beach carry flood insurance policies under the National Flood Insurance Program. It’s likely that some buildings do carry additional private insurance – since the coverage limits are quite low in comparison to the high values of many Miami Beach homes (coverage is $250,000 for a single family home)

Regarding novels I'd strongly recommend Sterling's Heavy Weather. One of my biggest complaints about Bruce is he always paints a rosy picture of what's coming but he got a few things right. His novel had people living in tents and wearing paper clothing like in ancient times. Also he makes mention of people getting evac'ed in freight trucks but doesn't get into details on any of that.
