    expect they've found a way to 'profit' off the collapse already. might be one of the reasons they're doing nothing to stop it

      People will be paying a lot to find habitable places, and trying to mitigatewhat should have been avoided. There will always be someone to profit off this process.

        they're already buying up the land burnt down in hawaii before the corpses have even been cleared

        They're going to pave whole towns over to build the 900th goddamn fucking hotel

    The interesting part are those who still don’t write letters to their congressmen and still vote for climate deniers. I just can’t.

    It would be insanely easy to solve: Not one of the billionaires out there would recognize if they only had 999 mil left and neither would anybody else. That‘s a cool 10 trillion to pay towards climate change. You‘re welcome.

    That money was earned using earth, so to saving earth it goes back (because no earth, no money and our billionaire overlords suprisingly havent saved us yet.)

    You people think it will be a night and day collapse? Get real. The rich will continue to get richer and you'll toil away in relative comfort as you do now.

        Even if your particular house is in a safe location, you're still fucked from all the other houses being flooded and burned down because that means disastrous effects on global supply chains including food and a massive refugee crisis the likes of which the world has literally never seen.

      You know that's the thing, nobody really knows. It's all predictions based on necessarily flawed models. And they range from relatively mild changes until the turn of the century on the one hand, over methane released from thawing permafrost leading to a steep acceleration of warming in the middle, to having crossed an irreversible tipping point decades ago that will lead to an algae bloom in the oceans which will render the atmosphere unbreathable on the other hand. We can only hope it's on the former end of the spectrum, but I wouldn't bet on it personally.

    Just remember in 20 years when nothing changes and life proceeds as normal. No one will care what you think then because the robbery will have been done.

      Suggestions are welcome.

      Other than killing people and enjoying the global warming from prison with no air conditioning so we die from heat exhaustion.

        How flexible is that killing people rule, because if all goes well its only going to be a few thousand billionaires and their fascists that die. But I don't think you can just go around doing that to fix the worlds problems, unless you're able to get a whole lot of them and somehow the media doesn't effectively twist you into a monster.

        Labor movements can effectively build up our power to a point where we can start to push our demands. Don't want to transition to renewables at a steady rate? General Strike. Don't want to lower housing costs? General Strike. Not investing in better infrastructure? General strike. They need us, and we have to use that against them.
