I can just imagine this guy trying to explain Albedo feedback loops to a President who thinks he's still a VP and is talking to Carl Sagan.

    love how rich fucks are holding up a suicide pact that's going to bring the whole planet down with them and you're considered a "radical" for wanting to not die

      It's not a suicide pact.

      Small parts of the world are going to be great, and they will quickly buy those parts.

      It's a genocide pact.

        Bill is already the biggest landowner in the states. He's set. I guess he'll start a serfdom if this goes down.

    Is it bad that I've just accepted that we're fucked and I'm trying to enjoy life in my own small way until the super storms start hitting?

      No, that's good. What else could you do about it?

    These people need to risk career suicide and start calling out their own administration, name names, blame the Eternal Good Guys aka the Democrats, otherwise their press releases will become "We must start humanely euthanizing entire third world countries to save our oil companies"

    It bears emphasizing over and over again that average people genuinely have no fucking idea the scale of the measures we would have to take as a society starting right now just to prevent a total catastrophe hitting ~2050 (optimistically). I always roll my fucking eyes with conservatives make fun of kiddie shit like the Green New Deal as if it's actually beyond-the-pale radical or libs thinking carbon taxes solve everything like hitting the autopilot.

    Was that climate speech from the newsroom (you know that shitty Aaron Sorkin project) accurate or fictionalized? I’ve never known and just taken it at face value of being true in meaning if not in exact substance

    Just sounds like an excuse to continue doing ecofascism. “Well its gonna be bad even if we radically change our society so we might as well keep production up this quarter.”

        Yeah! It totally makes sense to use it that way, I am all in favor. I happened upon it naturally and then found this cool article to support it : https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-orten-ecofascism-what-is-it

    Fuck yeah, who needs black coffee in the morning when you can sober up to this sad shit instead?
