We are (very likely) already past the point of no return when it comes to tipping points. You can’t refreeze the arctic which is currently thawing at alarming rates. You cant grab the methane back from the air and put it into the ground.

The release of methane and other ancient CO2 from the permafrost will catapult us past other tipping points like a BOE as well.

It’s not fatalistic, it’s realistic. The IPCC has warned of this stuff for years and people still believe renewables are going to allow us to skirt the worst of climate change when it’s already locked in lol.

Not like it even matters at this point. There’s a decades long lag time on CO2 emissions so even if we completely stop today the planet will continue warming for decades.

Not to mention the arctic circle is a literal ticking time bomb that will blow long before the anyways. Methane is literally blasting out from the ground leaving giant craters behind. Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Just look at how countries around the world combatted COVID. Climate catastrophe is going to be magnitudes worse than that and people are still sticking their heads in the sand.

Remote doesn’t pay the same if you’re not in a HCOL area. Most jobs scale based on location

Sure, maybe the hospital bills but raising 3 kids and going on vacations every year? You’re talking multi million dollar salary to be able to afford all of that on one income in SoCal of all places

Bro could see nazis marching down the street and say he doesn’t see any evidence for rising antisemitism.

The biggest problem is that even if far left politicians get elected locally, it’ll be years before they can enact the changes we actually need to stave off the worst effects of the climate catastrophe.

By that point it’ll have been too late for a long, long time. We need people who will act now and they don’t exist.

lol for real? Just look at the 2016 and 2020 elections. our two party system will never allow for far left politicians to be elected. The DNC will ensure that only those who are beholden to their corporate overlords get on the ballot.

Corporate democrats aren’t going to make the sacrifices needed to stave off the worst of climate change, they have reelections to worry about.

We’d need to roll back so many modern comforts in order to actually make progress in making sure we don’t destroy the planet and no one is lining up to be the boogie man who takes AC away from millions.

I hate to say it, but most people will only care when climate change personally affects them, just like COVID. Until then it’s heads in the sand all around.

I don’t believe that those scenarios are that plausible.

lol i think they said the same thing about the Titanic sinking. also the submarine guy said the same thing about it imploding.

Hmm 🤔

also all evidence that’s not conservative propaganda points to us hitting the worst possible outcomes when it comes to climate change. Read the IPCC reports and the worst case scenarios listed within. That’s what’s going to happen over the next ~40 years

Living in their own reality and being drip fed propaganda constantly
