This has been a doozy of a year. And it’s the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won’t die of old age?

    We’re not going to die from climate change, calm yourself.

    HOWEVER, this does NOT discount the importance of climate action. We absolutely must do whatever we can to reduce carbon emissions. But it’s not going to kill us in the first world.

      I mean agree to disagree. I’ve linked numerous studies that show otherwise. I hope I’m wrong but according to, ya know, reality and just sticking my head outside occasionally, I can tell I’m not. Do you work and stay inside mainly? Like are you literally blind?

      So, screw all the people who are going to die in the third world?

        Good news! Not all of them will die quietly in the third world where it doesn’t affect us.
        A billion or two will probably try to migrate north, where they will surely be welcomed into our societies with compassion and neighborly love.
