Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?
That sound really bad. So then I have a couple questions.
- do you support new nuclear power? How about if the plant will be built near where you live?
- do you support Geo-engineering testing?
... if no then how could the consequences of that be worse then mass death and starvation?
Geo-engineering should be an absolute last resort and should not be considered viable until we are on the brink of destruction. We need to cut emissions not spray more chemicals into the sky because we're too fucking greedy to actually fix the problem.
Power generation is only one part of the problem, so I have questions for you. Do you support zoning reform? Do you support bike infrastructure and public transportation? Do you support spending billions on rail projects to curb plane use?
We can't techbro ourselves out of this problem, society needs to fundamentally change in order to solve climate change. Are you willing to change your way of life?

We are doomed.
I don't believe anymore that we can turn it around. We and our children will drown in floods, starve in drought and burn in unbearable heat. Most of the world will become uninhabitable. And the rest will be fighting to the death for basic resources. We will see it faster than we think.
Im sure GenZ will live this nightmare and very probably Millenials too.

God what utter tripe. Past behavior has shown disaster in what sense? How do you fucking predict all of that from this plot. This is how you close credibility for your cause in 140 characters or less

damn this is crazy outrage bait.
I'll report back when mainland USA is flooded and nobody can grow food anymore and we're all starving, you have my word.

Why should I be worried, when I am more dangerous than a bear and privileged for having student loan debt?

Standard deviations is a deliberately misleading tactic to present this data, this is in reality a small temperature change.

"the end is nigh" but yeah insurance companies will probably be the first pillar of capitalism to fail. Unfortunately unless the publics views of migrants change, the public will continue to elect people who promise to abuse migrants.
There's a real risk entire forests will fail. And obviously agriculture
Kinda feels like karma on a global scale. Humans evolved intelligence just to use it to systematically oppress each other, mostly in the name of feeling powerful. Not sure I’d call that “intelligence” and I think the planet would be better off without us.
The planet doesn't give a shit about us. These are just natural processes (yes humans are a part of nature). We are just a particularly anomalous part of the system
