I fucking hate this. Its all for literally nothing. For fucking money. Money. Imaginary pieces of paper. Even worse, imaginary numbers on a fucking screen. Data. It's all for fucking nothing. We won't avoid the 1.5 C mark, and it might come in 5 years. 2 C would mean basically the end of any semblance of normal, at all, and the collapse of the global south. Forget even 3 degrees, I'd probably already be dead. They won. They fucking won. No revolution in the Imperial Core is possible. Everyone is a chud, or a lib, or a left anticommunist. We can't fucking win. It's over. The world is over.
One of the perks of living in the US North / Canada is that you've got tons of potable water and some of the last arable land suitable for commercial farming.
But a glut of desperate laborers combined with a rapacious commercial sector leadership means we'll be doing all our old tricks to these new people.
I dunno, the US seems really eager to kill all its arable soil with roundup as quickly as possible.
Fair enough. We're definitely fucked there.
Somewhat. 1/10 Americans depend on the Colorado River for water and that shit is so mismanaged it's likely to go dry.
It'll go dry because we keep draining it. But California has had record rainfall this year thanks to that freak west-coast tropical storm.
Its not like we just don't have any water. Its that we've built a massive irrigation network that sucks it off before it reaches the ocean.
