none of their sources of supply are endangered, quite the opposite now, with the Russian-Chinese economic relationship recently imposed by the demon cracker empires economic warfare against both, will only serve to so-to-speak, cement their relationship for the following century. Lots of new farmland thawing out from permafrost in the north too, ripe for exploitation for the climate refugees flooding north.

I'm sure someone else already mentioned this, but thawed out bogs and rocky shield formations aren't farmland. The thawed permafrost is pretty much useless.

The main thing the thawing permafrost seems to be doing is catching fire. Which is a good thing because that might kill the ancient viruses.

You can claim the bog for farms, it's been done before. All you need is lollontee and a hoe, the swamp's already there.

The funnier bit is saying that I'm on the side of the polluters for pointing out we have a massive crisis on our hands and you don't even get to go "oh it's all doomed" because some of it isn't doomed and we have no way of knowing what's doomed or not, but that it probably isn't everything. But it's still billions of very real people whose lives will get ruined or end because of this.

Either you deal with accepting you have no idea what's going to happen and how much impact your actions have, or you end up being that useless piece of poo poo who's too demoralized to do anything but then explains to everyone else it's because they're smarter and better and everyone else is wasting their time.

If we're heading for human extinction anyway, it literally doesn't matter what tone I pick to call people useless fuckwits rambling on about their stupid-rear end guesses about things they can't know.

The entire idea of this resulting in human extinction is literally impossible to falsify or prove. We have little evidence any of these effects result in human extinction - plenty of evidence they result in reduced lifespans and loss of arable land, but very little towards the extinction angle.

To accept that as a truth you keep bringing up like it's infallible church dogma with is delusional and there's no nice way to put that. And I don't see any gain to trying to nicely convince someone they're believing in hosed-up nonsense, they won't make good allies.

retard demon babyfucker empires of the west might not be able to survive in a world where neocolonial exploitation becomes impossible as their economies and ecologies collapse, and the incapabilities of neoliberal states in their responses becomes obvious to their citizens and enslaved immigrant populations, but I am not convinced the same would hold true for China and the economic sphere they're building. China switching over to a limited trade sphere, and surviving in autarky even if that fails, seems to me an entirely possible to achieve goal for them within 10-20 years

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

China fo sho has the technological and ideological infrastructure to switch to some form of direct allocation, but it'll be a helluva task. Autarky/central planning is deffo the way of the future. I've said it before and I'll stick to it - DPRK is the safest place to be in the entire world right now.

The West is just turbofucked. Liberalism is a civilizational brain tumour. We'll probably see a lot of fashy corporate monopoly towns in lieu of any kind of public socialism, but even then the existing infrastructural base is a train wreck.
