So yeah. This is probably going to be another humanitarian disaster that the government just allows to happen without making any real effort at relief, isn't it?

    And we'll continue kicking the climate change can down the road until coastal cities and towns just look like this all the time. Just today there was an ad by an "energy company" that stated that the "current energy crisis is about more than just climate change". It goes on to be a thinly veiled appeal to use more fossil fuels and what not. If I could find it some where I might just post it, but I'm so fucking tired of this BS.

      Eventually, you're going to suffer enough structural damage such that its no longer possible to produce emissions at current rates. Flood enough airports. Knock down enough power lines. Sink enough harbors. Eventually the carbon consumption comes down.

          Certainly. But the damage inflicted by the carbon released decades ago is destroying the carbon consuming infrastructure of today. And the carbon released today will inflict more damage in the future.

          If all carbon waste stopped tomorrow, there would still be an environmental reckoning.

          But a smaller one with lesser coat tails
