How afraid are you and what are you doing about it? @thirdform
Leaving aside the ethics of saying "Well yeah, people in Africa, India and South America are fucked but everyone here, in proper countries, will be OK", do you not think hundreds of millions of climate refugees trying to get into our proper countries might have some kind of impact?Most likely? A non-trivial part of the global south will see dangerous disruption, basically everyone on this board will be fine and largely unimpacted, by 2100 most of the effects will be managed and stabilized through climate engineering, and in a thousand years it'll be a blip in humanity's history—as forgotten as the little Ice Age that hit Europe from the 14th to 19th centuries
politics are already geared towards this eventuality.

Posture harder.Leaving aside the ethics of saying "Well yeah, people in Africa, India and South America are fucked but everyone here, in proper countries, will be OK"
We've done the whole "what use are polar bears really, when you get down to it?" argument to death, I think, so I'm not taking the bait here.Posture harder.
The title of this thread is "death of the earth" and a massive proportion of Western educated liberals think that's what's happening right now. It's not; there's not a shred of science that indicates anything like that; there have been far more dramatic and fatal changes to Earth's atmosphere several times in earth's history; and it's laughable that libs who posture and crow over "listening to the science" are just as distant from scientific projections as their conservative strawmen.
Couldn't have described my experience of the board bettersome kind of endurance trial to the death
😆😆😆You got schooled, again
