Don't be such doomers! If we band together as a society and stop all carbon emissions right now we can still mitigate the worst of the effects of climate change and save our civilization!

*Does not one solitary thing to reduce emissions*

*Approves record number of pipelines*

i think my favorite thing about this particular issue is that it's one of the few times where the better action from a climate perspective is the easiest of the two: you don't approve anything. you literally do nothing

but even then that's just too much of a challenge. if you see this and still believe that anything meaningful is going to be done, futile as it may be at this point, then you're a loving imbecile

I lived in a dome when I was a teenager. It was pretty chill. We did keel haul a kid over the roof one time tho.

i guess a pirate ship kind of looks like an upside-down dome if you squint, but i wouldn't go so far as to call the keel a "roof"

That's why I am ambivalent about it, but they'd probably be insulated from the suffering that they are responsible for even if they did live that long.

some of them, mostly the techbro-adjacent crowd, would be willing to make sacrifices to live that long, even if it meant consuming incredible quantities of resources and their existence being more like this:

The human capacity for denial is just incredible. The fact that anyone still goes to work despite the obvious looming in their face is stunning. It's one of those days where I want to lmao, but I can only sadly lol.

"Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist."

i took exactly one vacation where i flew somewhere as an adult, and it was to go diving in cozumel. the irony of contributing to the destruction of the thing you're going to see by visiting it has never been lost on me and i felt kinda guilty about it for a long time, but now i'm just glad i saw that before it's gone

also i'm past the whole "climate change is your responsibility!" bullshit so that helps too

Iqaluit, a city of 8,000 in Northern Canada, has had its water supply contaminated with fuel. There's some speculation that the melting permafrost is shifting and breaking buried pipes, allowing contamination to infiltrate. Still the question of where the fuel came from but that far north there's very few ways to deal with fuel spills: a shovel, lighting it on fire, ignoring it, or some combination of the three.

ok so first it's all natives there, so "people" is pushing it. also natives mostly drink liquor, so it doesn't much matter what the water is like. and when they're not drinking they're mostly huffing gas fumes so that's probably where the gas is coming from. more importantly we should figure out if it's hurting the economy or canada's image abroad

look, what i'm saying is, we started this "truth and reconciliation" holiday thing this year precisely so i don't have to give a poo poo about these sorts of things when they pop up in the news anymore so please shut the gently caress up
