I guess he missed the entirety of human history

No need for /s. We're already doing that.

Right. It's just a question of which side of the fence you'll be on when it gets built.

Anything obstructing profit maximization and economical growth. We have successfully subordinated everything to these doctrines.

I remember reading "the sixth extinction" and "field notes from a catastrophe" several years ago and just immediately thinking "oh ok cool so we're totally fucked".

Yeah, hopefully... We need time to adapt...

Any kind of shortage really seems to embolden people to act crazy and break any social norms. I'm more scared of desperate, angered mobs than not having certain food or conveniences for a while.

Why the future tense? It's like I tell my aging mother when she says "I choose to believe it won't get that bad".

IT IS THAT BAD. Just but for you. And not for your grandkids... Yet. As long as it's only that bad for "those countries", it's bit a problem.

"Romania said on Monday it was concerned by signs that neighbouring Ukraine was dredging a canal that sliced through a shared, ecologically sensitive coastal region, and asked if it could check the site. (...) Romania has said it is concerned that any works on the waterway through the shared Danube Delta area could threaten wildlife in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and break international environmental protection treaties."

I don't think it will happen all at once. More like localised extreme weather.

Kinda like now but more extreme

How can we when even so many of you here still defend capitalism, the unsustainable cancer that's driving us towards this.

Edit: downvote me then, you blind fools.

Well. We face wars anyways

The era of cooperation is needed, not competition like now.

The house I live in is stylistic and design well over 100 years old. It's almost 100 years as it is.

The way we live in so many ways is based on old ideas old technology.

We can live better in so many ways.

They would need to invade or regime change all the big oil reserve countries by 2000, otherwise the petro dollar would crash and their budget would die.

No governments can do that with good messaging. Remember COVID lockdowns? Realistically the sacrifices would be no where near the level of locldowns

Every night I feel more guilt about having kids

This is an inspiring comment. Thank you and I’ll keep this in mind when feeling helpless. We can focus on our immediate community and empower ourselves with these ideas. Thank you.

Also, happy cake day!

The BAU 2 chart is on the front of my refrigerator, I look at it every day.

Or we could just kill poor people so we don’t inconvenience ourselves. /s

I'll be ready this time. I got a bidet!

All of the human ones.
