Its not like america can stop them. They are adversaries.

Russia and china keep screeching about bipolar world disorder and this is one of the symptoms.

The smart decisions is to let them. Every single potential russian or chinese slly hate each other, not just politically. They only appear united because of America is such a threat to them.

Brazil? Jesus Christ lol. Brazil is not a stable or ssfely developing country.

Russia. They fix their economic issues by msking them worse.

India? They hate china. Unstable. High possibility of a civil war between hindu ultrs nstionalists and minorities/muslims.

China? Aging population. A system that needs to msnufacture reasons for it to exist snd employs theatrics to deal with issues like zero covid policy from Xi. I dont know anyone thst can praise china for anything culturally. China has no way to influence culture. All of their allies are more like business psrtners. They can betray china snd china can betray them immediately.

South Africa? Lol. Defacto a failed state. Other allies BRICS has is iran, belarus, serbia, north korea, syria and myanmar. Power houses of influence and economy lol.

>So at first, you denied the 5 year prediction was made (which it was).

No. I denied that was the claim. It wasn't. You know this. That is also explained in the twitter link itself, and admitted to later by the twitter's original 'gotcha' author.

>You denied that the temperature in my city has remained the same (which it has).

No, I pointed out an anecdote does not data make. Since you don't know what climate means in the phrase "climate change", suffice to say I must insist that it doesn't start and end at the borders of your city.

>Then you imply that civilizational collapse is going to occur due to temperature change. Which is exactly what Greta said in the first place (and never happened).

I implied it by pointing to the examples of past human civilizational collapse under better conditions. The past is not always an accurate predictor of the future, but only a fool that thinks climate starts and ends based on human political boundaries would suggest it isn't at all connected or meaningful to learn from our past.

>Nice. We've come full circle. Fact is, yes the temperature's gonna change in places (see links you provided) and we're gonna adapt.

Maybe. Maybe many many people will die. It's fine to say you don't care as long as you get to sip lemonade at the end. Being a sociopath isn't crime.

Wrong ocean current and a somewhat unrealistic scenario, but yes, it has.

In the real world, the North-Atlantic current has been struggling for almost a decade now. The adjoining Gulf stream almost stopped completely for a while during that BP oil spill, and the system has been wonky since.

Luckily, there's no current risk of people being deep frozen within minutes. Lots of snow and warm winters are coming though.
