absolutely lolling at this snippet from the guardian

quote:

we are currently on track for catastrophic 3C heating. In a world where half of the its population is highly vulnerable to the climate crisis, that spells disaster. Extreme heatwaves, floods and droughts far outside the normal tolerances of cities and towns will destroy lives and livelihoods globally. The knock-on effects of crop failures, migration and economic disruption could then overload political institutions and our abilities to respond to unfolding events.

If that feels depressing, there is cause for hope. Governments own this report. They have endorsed it, and they have signed it off. Their citizens can now hold them to account for the failures it details.

oh thank god, we can hold them to account

which means if we don't "hold them to account," climate change becomes the fault of the least powerful. they didn't want to fight climate change enough.

going to hold them to account by being really really upset with them after they died at the end of a long life full of opulent wealth. Going to write in history books that the guy who died a 95 year old in a $50 million dollar home was a bad dude, who was no good. He didn't even know how to make mac n cheese, his private chef took care of that, the scoundrel

that's how we will get back at those who fight against a livable future

Been trying for days to write a big long classic style post about how and why I'm so depressed, largely by having to continue existing in this interminably liminal state of affairs and society, that I was seriously considering just calling it quits and killing myself last week - but I can't even manage to scrape together a shitpost longer than this bland one-liner anymore. :sigh:

quote:

Keenan, who studies the intersection of climate change adaptation and the built environment, estimated that 50 million Americans could eventually move within the country to regions such as New England or the Upper Midwest in search of a haven from severe climate impacts. He predicted that migration driven by increasingly uninhabitable coastal areas is likely to happen sooner rather than later, citing the latest federal estimate that US coastal sea levels will rise by as much as a foot by 2050. Another projection, by Matthew Hauer, an assistant professor of sociology at Florida State University, is that 13.1 million Americans will relocate because of sea level rise alone by 2100, based on projections that seas along the US coast will rise by an average of 1.8 meters—nearly 6 feet—by then.

“We left in 2020 after getting tired of being evacuated in the middle of the night by a policeman saying, ‘Pack your cars, take your dogs, don’t pick up anything, just go,’” said Parvin.

As they became convinced that they could no longer live in Sonoma, they briefly considered Bend, Oregon, but dismissed that because it too had fire problems. They looked at Austin, Texas, but decided that would be too hot. They concluded it was time for a move out of the West altogether.

Climate scientists have been doing this for some time time (the migrating part, not sure about the jerking off and mst3k parts). No one noticed, I guess.

It would just be spun as totally counterproductive and unnecessary (because things aren't that bad yet). There would be op ed after op ed about how resorting to violence makes climate protesters just as bad as Them
