If only we’d been told sooner. Perhaps by someone who’s job it is to report things as they unfold.
Actually New Yorkers are woke and not required to suck at the teat of finance imperialism. Listen to my woke PMC podcast!!!
That's what the headline says, which is not in the image.
Also this tweet in that same thread:

Please don't. It presumes a false dichotomy of either immediate worldwide revolution or else mad max roving gangs. It also completely puts the onus on, and kind of fetishizes, the third world. Doomer v Bloomer did an episode on it recently that I think would be a better use of your time.
Punish the leaders and corparations that didn't act. They knew.
Only the Polytron reduces an entire capitalist to a soup-like homogenate within 30 seconds
What episode was that? I want to listen to it again, that was the funniest fucking thing
This is manufacturing consent for doing nothing. Things are going to be bad, but they can still be even worse if no action is taken

OK, is this a real report, or just something that every politician will use to go into "oh well, if it is locked-in, then curbing CO2 emissions doesn't do anything and we should start thinking who will be sacrificed" mode?
The IPCC is the international authority on climate change. They represent all climate scientists. It is a very serious report, but politicians haven't taken any of their previous reports seriously and they won't start now
The Epstein-Gates Green Zone Shelter will be available to all climate refugees 12 and younger - NYT the day after.
It's based on the most recent IPCC report, but "at least some" warming has been locked in for while. But we're on the verge of staying under 1.5C, which was some goal from a decade or so ago, becoming an impossibility. There's definitely some hyperbole as a lot of the commentary on the most recent report has been kind of apocalyptic, when each of these reports are essentially the same as the last one but a little worse. Like still genuinely a scary potential future, just seems to be a major jump in reactions from the most recent report, which I think was essentially as scary.
A lake pretending to be a sea is revisionist. It had to be liquidated.
Do I really have to put a /s at the end of a post where I accuse a body of water of being revisionist? Is this what we've come to?
A lake pretending to be a sea is revisionist. It had to be liquidated.
how can you liquidate a lake it's already liquid you fucking moron
Given time I'm sure Russian communism would have come back towards ecological preservation. They just had so much land that was unused.
The big thing is that the only thing prevention action against climate change is the profit motive. Without that, or with a significantly limited and controlled profit motive, any suicidology state will respond to ecological disaster in a sane way. See Cuba and the DPRK.
Cuba has developed very robust systems of ecosystem rejuvenation and maintenance, and the DPRK (a more industrialized nations) is focusing on shifting production to renewable energy and providing citizens with solar panels to charge low voltage devices.
That copy of Monkeywrench Gang sitting at your local library, check it out under your Mayor's name.
shucks, so the only hope for justice is violence on a wide scale? good to know
Part of a follow up tweet...
If the world managed to stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere by around 2050, warming could conceivably stabilize at about 1.5 degrees Celsius, the report says.
Oh, well - we're fucked.
"In response to the news that we're all going to die unless drastic action is taken, the Government lowered interest rates 2 basis points."
time to hope we get hyper efficient carbon scrubbing machines or plants before we all take a trip to hell
Wow that's crazy dude, that's wack. Anyways. Have you heard about the funny thing that happened at the Olympics? A HORSE!
nb4 they blame cina for having high carbon production recently while the all time carbon production is dwarfed by the west while doing green tech embargoes on countries like cina
Also people like to blame China for commissioning all these new coal plants. But this is a matter of expanding installed capacity.
The overall generation of coal power in China has been steadily declining, while renewable power generation has been steadily increasing to replace it. The transition can't happen overnight.
also theyre looking to get 2-3x the number of reactors, theyre gonna dwarf the rest of the world in reactor output, and the new nuclear sites are gonna be shiny latest gen shit with all the safety bells and whistles :posadist-nuke:
https://world-nuclear-news.org/BlankSiteASPX/media/WNNImported/mainimagelibrary/general%20and%20abstract/IEA-slide.jpg?ext=.jpg (note: this slide is a conservative estimate, some think china will hit 200gw by 2030-2035). and then they intend to get it going even higher from there. their current plan is around ~1400 GW by 2100 on top of what is already put in, which would be outputting about half the USA's current output in nuclear only.
china has enough clean energy to power the US for half the year. but it needs to get higher, obviously.
So like when should I max out all of my credit cards and buy a lot of drugs? Should I try to move to Canada or New Zealand or somewhere? Should I buy a gun and start practicing with it? Do I need to buy a leather jumpsuit with shoulder pads and style my hair into a green mohawk? Which will be more valuable in the wastelands: guzzoline, mothers' milk, water, or bullets?
