    Over the past year, books like Hunger Games have started to feel unsettlingly prescient. But perhaps we can skip that dystopia altogether and instead careen directly toward the Mad Max world.

    Yep. No worries about this being anywhere but lemmy.

    Controlling interests decided to bury their heads in the sand and build bunkers instead of actually trying to save the planet the way we humans have known it for thousands of years.

    Whatever comes next might not be what is predicted, but you can pretty much count on it being inconvenient, uncomfortable and expensive.

      And as it progresses, deniers will continue to point at mistakes in the predictions as some proof that it isn’t happening, even as it occurs around them. They don’t realize that the errors that will grow are because this is unprecedented in the geological history and so scientists are having to make best guesses rather than use the past for modeling. It’s a whole new world…
