Agreed. It was initially just “boomers” but I wanted to make it clear that I’m referring primarily to the Epstein Class. (W Bush, Clinton, Biden, and Trump all born in 1946)

Yeah. Crime rates go up when it’s hot. productivity, sleep, the ability to retain information, most metrics of ability, all drop off dramatically as you start to hit the 95-105 degrees (F) range. Mortality rate rises, particularly in the developing world. That means more people we can’t feed, and a bunch of other things if you’re an immigrant hatemonger-type. This should concern you.

Yeah I’m all for blaming boomers when possible but this is a case where there must be credit given to the pioneers who were sounding the alarm fifty years ago

That’s not a very nice thing to say to someone. You should learn how to be kind to people. I think you would feel better about yourself and the world if you did 👍

listen I hope ur right, man. I just cannot imagine anything else happening in the event thing accelerate within the next five years. it might be more realistic to fear this in about 20 years time, or so. we are definitely in the finding out portion, however, having allowed our predecessors to thoroughly fuck around. not that “we” let them do anything, my ass was zygotic for the al gore-bush election.

Again, I’m not trying to be rude or nitpicky or anything but climate science is a huge deal to me and I would rather people not accidentally spread misinformation that gives climate change deniers fuel for their “arguments”

And what I mean by that is the local temperatures will fluctuate, not that we do not see them actively rising already. Weather patterns that change yearly can give places colder summers or winters than they usually have, these patterns and fluctuations will only become more severe with climate change

Nah, I appreciate your input. I obviously dunno what I’m talking about regarding the shit that actually goes down in the troposphere. I do think that this distinction is one that, for a lot of climate “skeptics”, enables them to continue living in blissful ignorance. Global temperature increases will obviously fuck us all over, in the end, but I think it’s a far less compelling argument to lament to an American chud about rising temperatures in the Sahel than what they can directly feel at-home.

i mean it is an image in an internet meme format so it’s kind of intended to be abrasive and hyperbolic in nature. however, my state’s average temperature has risen approximately 5°F since 1970 causing tornadoes to become more common in the area. the image isn’t supposed to be taken at face value but more to be provocative tbh. always appreciate a fellow STEM paragraph guy tho 🩷👍🏼

It’s not so much capitalists as it is the lack of necessary regulation

also, the chickens we have are normally good layers. Previous summers they’d slow down because of the stress heat causes, but this summer they’ve pretty much stopped altogether. 20 hens and we were getting no eggs for a majority of the summer. It’s scary thinking that this could get worse. And not just worse for small farms, but for the big farms that produce the food for the entire country. I think we’ll be seeing that scarcity become the norm in the next few years.

I’d argue it is. After all, who is responsible for paying the lobbyists ans donating to campaigns to prevent regulation? The capitalists

Capitalists can just as easily introduce environmental regulation, but as you said the lobbyists are ruining it. IMO ban lobbying and things would be much better

Could you please point to where you addressed my comment of you victim blaming? Or where you engaged in a conversation about what I said

Being a debate bro is lame and cringe, that being said “put a little effort into it and get those brain cells churning (I know, they're not used to much effort, but I believe in you!)” is ad hom btw

“ Dip shit fellow Americans” is also ad hom

They *CAN*, but only in the most technical sense of the word. The highest goal of a capitalist is the accumulation of capital. If there is no profit incentive, they will not do it. In the case of big oil, it threatens their industry, so they actively oppose it. Since the state is the mechanism which makes capitalism go smoothly, the state follows suit. In the event that democracy threatens capitalist interests, democracy will be abandoned

If we’re being technical, my own words were that it was an exaggeration. Being that someone did tell them to off themselves, I fail to see where the exaggeration is

Wow that’s a very rude statement to make. If you talk to strangers like that you won’t make many friends! Swearing doesn’t make you cool and it makes people really not want to hang out with you. You should try to be kinder to everyone, especially yourself 👍

“ desperately disparaging my messages or my character” and your second response was literally saying I lacked brain cells. Is the hypocrisy intentional I’m confused

It’s pretty bad for nuclear too. Drier seasons and less rain means a lot of the rivers and lakes used for plant coolant are too low for pumps to work effectively. Take what’s going on with the Danube and how Hungary and Romania have been impacted.

If it got to that point there would have to be a regime change but in capitalism you have to and many countries do maintain the balance between profits/growth and the environment. However, because the #1 country pumping out carbon emissions has a heavily socialist/communist government, that shows that those economic systems aren’t solutions to destroying the environment

-1

Anonymous #7 12w

I would first say there is no balance between profits and emissions. If there is profit to be made, the capitalist will go with that option. If you’re referring to China’s greenhouse gas emissions, I will assume they have the most of any country. However, this is to be expected: they do have a billion people, after all. Per capita, though, they have less greenhouse gas emissions than the United States. In addition, they are actively investing in solar, nature reserves, tree planting, etc.

The last thing I will address is your phrase “If it got to that point”. I’d say it’s already at that point. Companies have their slimy mitts in our congress. Our president routinely flouts the constitution. Even when a president obeys the law, the powers of government are wielded for the advancement of capital interests. We elect a democrat or republican government, which changes things, true, but the underlying structure of the system remains the same. This cannot be changed electorally
