So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won’t have a global climate crisis before 2061?

I need someone to convince me, please.

Why wait this long?

In 2061, I can see Halley’s Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It’s the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don’t have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

We are keeping our carbon cap and trade system here in Washington at least. We will be helping world CO2 emissions go down 0.3% (~100 million tons out of the 35 billion tons).

What the fuck happened to the education system

The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That’s why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.

It was deliberately hampered to produce poorly educated people who are easier to swindle.

It’s just a once in a lifetime flood, bro! Sure, it’s the third one this year, but c’mon! It’s just normal seasonal cycles!

The hurricanes have become so frequent that they’re hardly even talked about any more. I’m like “guys it’s fucking November…”.

I’ve accepted for a while now that “this is it”. Despite all our meming about our retirement being dying in the coming water wars… reality won’t be that far off.

As someone who always struggled to find reasons to live, I sure as hell can’t see any now. This world is a literal hell unless you’re rich. In that case it’s your little playground and we the npc’s who populate it.

I think I’d much rather save myself the trouble and suffering.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
