It's extremely funny to me how people are generally terrified of temperatures that aren't all that cold, while at the same time vastly underestimating the danger of high heat/humidity. Like humans can survive in some pretty cold conditions, especially if you can avoid getting wet, but a high enough temperature will just straight up kill you.

We can solve this by subsidizing more air conditioning units worldwide, powered by fossil fuels. Win/win for the oil companies and for public health.

Pfff, just go inside and turn on air conditioning. Climate change doesn't matter when you're indoors, the economists said so.

It's not even that bad in central FL but I still often get in my car and it's so hot I can't breathe until I roll down the windows to let the hot air out

what are all the things we have to learn to live with? 1. covid (and presumably any disease requiring management by public health agencies going forward) 2. permanently compromised air quality 3. loss of biodiversity 4. bioaccumulating heavy metals in your cells from conception onward 5. soil degradation 6. nuclear war, and fallout therefrom 7. supervolcano(es) 8. police violence 9. hyperthermia 10. ??? that's just off the top of my dome

it's not cool to disparage supervolcanoes, they were around way before us and have every right to explode.

super volcanoes are on the same tier as large asteroid impacts. inevitable on a geological time scale, incredibly destructive, completely independent of human actions, but so infrequent that our entire civilization may never see another one.

Climate Change Is Taking a Big Bite out of Our Food Supply we did a lil oopsie woopsie and terraformed earth into a planet that won't be able to support humans by the end of the century quote:The damage extends beyond crop failures triggered by destructive weather events. Heightened CO2 in the atmosphere actually helps crops grow faster, but it also boosts their carbohydrate content and drives down their levels of key vitamins and minerals. “This is of particular relevance for fruit and vegetable crops given their importance in human nutrition,” the report states. Worse, increased heat stress from climate change more than outweighs the effect of faster growth. Warmer temperatures have already lowered yields of the globe’s big three staple crops—corn, wheat, and rice—by 5.3 percent since 1961, the authors find. no problem! just have to learn to live with not eating food

You might be joking, but there is no other plan as far as I can see other than nailing the borders shut and keeping pesky reporters out of the peacekeeping zone (like Poland already does in the east, and probably many other places)
