Even when an article tries to tell something close to the truth, they still can't get close.

“Americans aren’t afraid of climate change,” Enten concluded. “Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people. Perhaps not, but neither have most journalists. "

Climate activists working on a mostly volunteer basis have not been able to counter the oligarch owned and billionaire funded lobby groups, bought politicians and owned media who have expertly manipulated public opinion with complete media saturation of misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and bullshit.

Yeah. It's the activists' and journalists' fault. :facepalm:

The only consolation I have to offer, is the author who wrote this bullshit, the bullshittiest editors across the oligarchy's media empire, the bought politicians and the oligarchs themselves will find out the hard way that money doesn't mean shit on a dying planet.

Karma is, in fact, a bitch.

A bronze statue?

Prosecutor: Potential Juror #5. Are you aware of the concept of Jury Nullification?

Juror: I am now.

Society grows ________ when old men burn down trees whose shade no one will ever sit in.

Not really. You can only hire unqualified, incompetent clowns. I'm sure they see some value in that, but a society won't function for long on that.

Want to teach in Oklahoma?

No.

Enshittification.

Credit check.

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. However, I believe you have misunderstood my intentions towards a path forward. Allow me to clarify.

I am saying the 1%, in a madness driven fit of misguided self-interest, lead us inexorably to a world that has exceeded our planetary boundaries and must collapse due to its unsustainable nature. 8 billion people and counting on a finite planet that is degrading rapidly due to pollution, resource depletion and climate change, to name a few, is going to have A LOT of hungry people.

In this brave new world, famine will be a more prevalent phenomena. There is a reason why Bill Gates, Blackrock and everyone else are huge holders of farmland. It's why Russia wants Ukraine. As Leonard Cohen once observed, "Everybody Knows".

I am saying, when you, your family and your community are priced out of food due to multiple simultaneuous global breadbasket failures due to climate change occur, here is a simple and just solution - eat the rich.

Dry rubbed, woodsmoked, char-grilled rich people. It's what's for dinner. I suggest an oil rub with cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, mustard powder and onion powder. Cook it low and slow around 225F.

Doesn't matter if you are their fitness trainer, gardener, handyman or private security or just some dude who never met them until your fateful meal. Eat hardy while you can.

Bon appétit!

It's the inevitable outcome of policy created specifically to do so. There was never any doubt as to where we would end up.

Just remember, when you are hungry, eat the rich.

Farms will increasingly be cursed with too much and too little water. The most direct adaptation is very large subsoil tanks that accumulate water outside the growing season, wet periods etc, then pump at night from there during droughts to bridge gaps. Tile drainage for the overly wet periods and the tanks are full.

Humans will need to moderate an increasingly extreme nature to survive.

It's fine for research, but there is no point scaling anything because it can't work. The physics won't allow you to capture carbon for less energy than you gained from it's combustion. It's fraudulent.

Edit:

anything must be tried

Like ending all fossil fuel use...
