1. Democrats make the earth feel better via carbon credits and capture
2. China is the at the top of this graph of emissions by country!
3. America is climate-resilient and anyway I’m going to move to the Upper Peninsula and farm

lol dude central america has already been getting hosed by drought for years. north america had crops get hammered this year, like the canadian pulse harvest had a >40% drop after the heat domes. but if you wanna celebrate being turbofucked instead of gigafucked uh okay go ahead

this is going to be terrible for poor countries that have to import food, especially those which do so directly from Canada — like Turkey, whose currency lost more than 30% of its value in the last month, and which imports a good deal of lentils from there. even without direct sales I presume richer countries are still better able to ride out any price fluctuations, in turn driving in prices, and… :(

I've read every book Crichton wrote himself, State of Fear is a good thriller but it has a multi-page speech complete with graphs about how climate change is an illusion caused by measurement error. The climate conspiracy murders people by carrying around a blue-ringed octopus in a little baggie of seawater.

... victims of these dastards with "the blue rings, the blue rings" being the last words on their lips, in a desperate stab at grabbing both the mystery novel enthusiasts and right wing conspiracy nuts. Also repeatedly hammering how the libs have to keep everybody in ... a state of fear in order to keep everybody subservient. Seemed especially ironic in the aftermath of 911. Such an amateurish piece of poo poo, he couldn't have written that himself.

It's almost certainly too late to save ourselves but the least we can do is use our remaining time to create giant carbon capture plants so that future intelligent species have an energy source that's as easy to exploit as coal was for us.

I mean yeah, everything is always worse for poor countries. However, it's a mistake to assume that rich countries are somehow insulated from global turmoil. "Things will be terrible for everyone else" is pretty much a nonsensical statement that doesn't even need to be examined further, because general collapse elsewhere in the world will absolutely destabilize and turbofuck rich countries.

It's hilarious how many people in the US don't realize how wildly unstable their "middle class" positions really are. Like it's not even a theoretical thing. There are endless stories of people losing literally everything to disasters and never getting it back because their insurance companies hosed them or they just fell through the cracks.

You have to be absolutely, insanely, disgustingly rich to not be one step away from ruin in this country.

BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Lol just the drop in birth rates caused in part by young people opting out of having kids due to anxieties over climate change have western economists freaking out. When there are a poo poo load of climant migrants seeking refuge, the fascists that rich nations elect in response will win on slogans of "Borders closed, we're full" so I'm not sure how they'll make up for the lack of workers...More prison labor, maybe?

slavery for criminals is still legit.


so they'll just pass some onerous carbon tax, then bust everyone for carbon tax evasion.

burn wood to stay warm in a forest a startup already claimed is being used for sequestration? that's carbon jail for you.

fail to correctly account for the carbon emissions of the supply chain that delivered you your dried beans? that's carbon jail for you.

forget to include section G6.12, carbon emissions due to historic land use change (the house you grew up was built on a former farm in the 1920s)? you better believe that's carbon jail for you.

Up until 2 or 3? years ago all public schools and colleges in Colorado had to purchase all of their furniture from the prison labor workshops, it was written into state law explicitly to support the prison labor industry. If you bought something on Amazon or at Staples they would make you return it and you got reprimanded.

Nice of the dems to finally get rid of that law after having control for 10 years, great work chaps.

Trying to imagine being able to watch:

17,000 people rendered homeless due to unprecedented flash-flooding which will happen again and again and become more severe

$7.5+ Billion in infrastructure damage and climbing.

Total disruption of regional agriculture,

800+ dead due to temperatures usually seen at the equator a few months prior.

Add it to the tens of thousands of lives destroyed every year for the past decade by wildfire on the west coast, at an ever increasing rate,

Considering the imminent end of the Colorado River as a water source.

The failure of pulse crops across the prairies, due to a record drought with no end in sight.

And yet still be able to conclude: "Nah, everything will be OK, those lives in the tropics will die before my life is ever impacted. "
