This time they are sending ALL of us to the ovens.

    Well I, myself, am not currently personally on fire at this particular moment, which proves conclusively that climate change is a hoax and that our glorious, benevolent job creators deserve another tax cut and, fuck it, give em a bailout too just for the hell of it!

    Just don’t anyone dare give one of our innumerable homeless “people” in our innumerable tent cities a sandwich. That would just enable them to keep being poor. In fact, lets give people of net worth higher than a hundred million an annual, national civic award for occasionally having to see the homeless out of their car and limo windows, as a thank you for allowing the nation to bathe in the owner’s divine affluent light, that just feels on theme for us.

    I was stuck in a waiting room for two hours today and the tv had the weather channel on. They covered the fires thoroughly, as well as record high temperatures all across the country, and the fact that before now such and such area only had five 100+ degree days and this year it had 11! Etc.

    The part I really noticed though is the number of times they actually said the phrase: climate change. ZERO

    Sigh

      The fact that they keep having to say that climate change isn’t real kind of makes me think climate change is real

      They don’t care. But they also don’t realize that those paid armies are gonna turn on them real fast. What are they gonna pay the guards with when money is useless? Even if they hold some leverage, I bet most would crumble if the guards violently pried it away.

      They’ll just move to the most inhabitable, least affected, parts of earth. Perhaps New Zealand, Argentina or Scotland.

      They don’t need bunkers. This is what the billion dollar yachts, private planes and multiple homes in many jurisdictions are for.

      Anyway, I don’t think it’s fair to blame only the rich. We live in democracies with free speech and accessible information.

      I know a lot of anti-nuclear activists and those people are not rich, but are definitely more guilty of causing catastrophic climate change than the millionaires and billionaires.

      Every advanced country could have achieved the 5 tons per capita that France and Sweden achieved in 1990 by using nuclear energy. And that would have solved most of the climate change problem. The reason it is so bad now, is because we squandered the past 35 years and increased our emissions instead of reducing them.

        I’m not sure there will be any. I recall someone mentioning an issue with NZ (other than the kiwis re-appropriating bunkers) but I’ve forgotten it now. Argentina is suffering from drought and large wildfires, and is expected to see tropical diseases expanding their territory (already happening in many places). Scotland and the whole region is going to suffer from intensely cold weather due to the AMOC slowdown, but I expect this will result in chaotic hot/cold weather extremes because the Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI) will still be extraordinarily high.

        They will need bunkers when the oceans turn into giant vats of methane infused bouillabaisse.>

    Honest question, what was the role of climate change in the Hawaii fires? Are they having a particularly dry summer?
