According to the latest projections, we could be blowing past the Paris Agreement global warming threshold as soon as 2028.

Fuck the older generations who never were going to accept investing in any way in the future until it was already way too late, you will be remembered for generations to come as traitors.

    Let’s put it this way: there are negative feedback loops too. One of them is consequences reaching those who contribute most to BAU (and I don’t mean only the wealthy.)

    We have to insist and point much louder, otherwise conservatives will push more scapegoating to maintain BAU.

      We have to insist and point much louder, otherwise conservatives will push more scapegoating to maintain BAU.

      The conservative hive mind goes like this.

      1. Deny climate change for decades and character assassinate anybody who tries to raise awareness about it.
      2. When denial is no longer tenable, abruptly decide to acknowledge climate change, but do not listen to ANYTHING anyone has been saying about how to mitigate climate change or how to best care collectively for humanity as massive changes hit the global climate system, ignore all the research and all the hard work. Put all your trust in ketamine fueled delusions from techbros about how we can solve climate change and tune the rest out. Also if you have ever wanted to embrace being an antisemite or racist against muslims or another group, now is the time baby!
      3. Focus and nurture your nihilism about the fact that at the end of the day what climate change means is Us VS. THEM.
      4. Hand power to whoever has the most emotionally satisfying and comprehensible story about who the THEM is and why it is all their fault so we should do violence against them while feeling no empathy for them (this is what true masculine warriors do no?) while absolving ourselves of the burdens of our sins we know at some level deep down are still yet lurking.

        Every time climate change comes up my parents are like “we need to get smart people working on it so we can figure out what to do!!!” And every time I say “we already know what to do though we’re just doing the literal exact opposite.” They always say well we can’t do that, solar and wind actually cost more to make, and all solar money is defrauded, as well as all the other conspiracies. Guess we’ll just keep hurtling towards the cliff because turning would cost us more in the short term! A smart person will figure out how to make us not fall.
