      U.S really is by far the best country geography wise and it's not even close. Surrounded by both oceans, both coasts extremely mountainous, immense amounts of arable land, the most oil, lots of raw materials (metals, lumber, etc.), incredible amounts of freshwater, avoids drastic climate change due to not being too north or close to the equator

      What a waste

      I mean the western states (ca, az, nm, nv) might legit run out of water in the next two years as a result of the megadrought brought on and intensified by climate change. ca grows 90 pct of nuts and fruits and like 60 pct of vegetables. So the US will definitely suffer.

          Give it time, weather doesn’t discriminate by nationality. Americans are hit hard too. The difference is those killed are primarily the homeless, the transient, the outcasts, and so their deaths aren’t counted, remaining almost as easily ignored as those in the global south

          It is unfortunate that the bourgeoisie won’t naturally face these consequences though, we have to get that ball rolling ourselves.

        yep yep yep. idiot CA needs to massively invest in desalination like 20 years ago. It's not going to happen until it's too late.

      The US will probably be one of the countries that does the best under climate collapse. At least it’s positioned to do so, we’ll probably fuck it up and geoengineer another dust bowl

        Salt Lake City is a few years away from being Salt Flat City because they want lawns as a status symbol

          :lathe-of-heaven: I feel like this is cheating tho because it’s kind of already happening
