that level of selfishness is pathological.

and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it's not just a quirky attitude.

Well, when I read your examples, I'm also like: WTF?

But at the same time, I also can't justify doing more than I'm already doing when companies and billionaires are so wasteful. I do recycle plastics etc, but it is becoming very difficult to justify me having to take this action, when 3M down the river just dumps all possible forever chemicals in our rivers and even have a government issued permit allowing them to do so.

So in short, on some level, I'm also selfish. Let the corporations and billionaires that pollute the most take action. There is very little someone like me can do, and I'm already doing most of the stuff I can. For instance, we have 2 electric cars, solar panels, well insulated home with a heatpump, we recycle as much we can, etc...

Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it's too late to do anything about it

I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.

Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.

I care alot. That's why I got a vasectomy. Don't you care your kids? Then dont have them. In the best case scenario, they would lord over wage slaves who would make your kids money. Why would you want that for your kids? And thats the best case...

Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)

Mo I Rana doesn't exist. It's a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.

Crazy, I'm in the Southern California high desert and it's been hotter where you are than where I am. That's not supposed to happen.

Just like daddy drops in his drink. ... And then he gets maaad.

Once and for all

"Just need to melt a few more ice caps and my LLM will have the solution to preventing the ice caps from melting!"

I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.

We're at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔

Don't Look Up!

Invest in sharpies!

It isn’t just that, there’s also a massive ocean current that brings warm, tropical water up there. It’s also why Atlantic Europe is so warm despite being generally as north or more than frickin’ Montréal where last winter we got 70-80cm of snow in 48hrs.

This is still a massive problem, of course.

It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures

Tell me about it. Do you have any idea how high the specific heat of water is? George Soros must be running those space lasers 24/7 to make such a convincing show.

Oh, they're absolutely doing a lot about it. They're funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that's vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag...again

Why would they need air conditioning with their heads in a guillotine basket?

We'll be letting a lot of things sink in over the next 50 years

Joke's on them when AMOC collapses.
