    It won’t take alien invasions, it won’t take world wars using nukes. It will simply be humans living day to day, consuming and altering everything they cross paths with.

    It’s fucked, and we were warned decades ago and did nothing but drill, baby, drill.

    A lot of people will die. Which I’m pretty sure they’re fine with, less people= less expenses for social welfare programs, lower property values, and so on

    “They” being the people in charge of our world-wide MegaForce economy, think JP Morgan and those who “serve” terms at The FED. (in actuality, they take turns reaming us, inflation is how central banks raise taxes without congressional approval).

      The Epstein class has talked about raising the kill line for awhile. Warren Buffett stated back in 2013 that the rich were starting a war on the poor, the poor just weren’t told anything about it

        Much of this pollution is because we deliberately maximize consumption. It’s difficult to quantify how much better off the environment would be without a constant economic stimulus that led to petrodollar warfare.

    I live in sweltering southern Romania

    I took a trip to the Carpathians a couple weeks ago to cool down

    Saw two bears in 48 hours in the small town I was in

    It’s over. The bears have the high ground

      Fuck that those are just over priced over sized swamp coolers which uses water. Even though water emits nothing or near nothing, swamp coolers/evaporative coolers are highly ineffective and you’d be filling it with water quite a lot or you’d be hooked to a water line and unless they were fully able to be 100% disassembled and cleaned and unless people actually cleaned them they’d be just mildew sources running in your homes.

      Propane refrigerant is the best for the ozone. It’s just not used in mini splits in the US. If propane was used we’d be fine. https://www.npga.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/NPGA-Enviro-1pg-555283.pdf and all you gotta do is change a filter and ask someone to come over and recharge it once a year. It’ll never be phased out and it’s highly effective as a refrigerant.

        While I was being deeply unserious and think Dubai is a grotty place that should not serve as an example of how to do anything, I really appreciate the sentiment of and detail in your comment.

    My garden isn’t the same anymore these past few years. I think it’s the change in climate. Plants are struggling.

      I have a different problem with my garden - nothing will grow because it won’t stop raining. Which is what climate change has changed for me locally.

      Same here. Cucumbers were doing great and then the heatwave hit & they died inside a week. Going to have to put a sun screen up over my raised beds.

      I read that two weeks ago right before the EU and US heat waves, was surreal, and not in a good way.

    Don’t worry, ocean currents will change in a bit and northwest europe will freeze
