Isn't "guy who just declared himself dictator for life of an autocratic state is running a cleanup/PR campaign because his people want a cleaner environment" an equally valid interpretation though?

No dictator for life would ever put the long term over the short. Especially not if doing stuff for the environment let him jail rich people and take their stuff and assign his friends to get profits from the efforts.

Argument defeated, qed

The robots don't have to be smart to kill everything that isn't rich and making a few mistakes is okay since it's only people being killed not money burning

Beans are also cool.

Generally more warm and smelly in the end, though

May site wells just to make it hard for any future government to make it illegal again, though.

Most people in the US use planes.
I'm not sure about that. The answer isn't measured anywhere but given that there are a lot of people who travel like it's going out of style I'd be surprised if even 1/4 of people in the US fly more than once a year and less than 50% fly in a given year.

With median income around 50k a single flight is a non-trivial expense, especially since it would be accompanied by a car rental, and vacations via car or train would make a lot more sense.

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but Cape Town, South Africa is on the verge of running out of water

It will be interesting to see what happens. And by interesting I mean terrifying/depressing.

Alas, a Sun shade may reduce photosynthesis, and so CO2 would accumulate even faster in the atmosphere.

The only real option is to somehow reduce CO2 levels, or like, live in purified containers.

Air conditioned mansions for the rich it is!

You say that like cutting off the coffee supply wouldn't cause the Nordic Countries to descend into barbarism.

Nah, they'd just go a viking.

There was a gif I saw the other day, it was country names in alphabetical order with a red or blue dot showing above or below average temperature. It goes up by year and gets very red at the end. Can somebody repost it please, I've been looking for ages? Tia.
