      Actually even if somehow all environmental pollution stopped at once, assuming it stops before a runaway event too, it would still take a long time for some greenhouse gasses to not have an effect. And that’s not even getting into PFAS and adjacent chemicals and microplastics as macro plastics break down.

      So either way, should still expect things to get worse for a while even if somehow everyone actually banded together to make things better.

      PS: the math is pretty certain on some of this stuff too.

        I’m aware of the ecological collapse on the horizon, things will almost certainly get worse materially for a lot of people.

        Not in denial about the extent of the damage, and the consequences will not be something that is trivial to overcome.

        However I think the case that is to be made is against despair, the people responsible for our current ecological devastation and unequal distribution of resources all have names and addresses, are mortal, are no smarter than any of us, and can be organized against.

      Wake me up when they start trying to resist. And I don’t mean the Democrats putting up bullshit protests before voting for it anyway. I mean sustained protest/strike action from the populace in an attempt to actually affect change.

      We’re nowhere near the bottom.

    If ww3 breaks out I’m fleeing from the us to Canada to fight for them. At least I’ll die with dignity
