We’re so fuct.

I’m often grateful I live in an area where it shouldn’t be too difficult to sustain myself if shit gets really bad. I can grow a garden and slaughter animals if I need to. Water would be the only problem as it’s already hot and dry here. There are plenty of water wells, but you never know how long they will last when the climate really starts ramping up.

City/seaside dwellers, do you have a plan if the climate gets too extreme for you to stay put? I don’t have enough room for all of you...

Yeah that sucks. I’ve actually thought about visiting some vulnerable places in the next few years. Just so I can make sure and see them before they’re changed or gone...

Even if it wasn’t the epicenter of COVID, it’d be a hard pass. I’ve already been several times. Overrated.

I do have to go one more time to see Dry Tortugas...

sounds like fat blockheads and old people to me, and the only entertainment is Disneyland and watching people's houses get blown away by hurricanes

That first line.... "The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, which hold enough frozen water to lift oceans 65 metres...." :eek: :eek:

Some 65 metres is a lot of real estate lost to the ocean.

The world needs to cut carbon emissions by a quarter by the year 2030 to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, according to the latest report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Governments and industries must make sure to level carbon emissions by 2025. Even then, the world will need to invest in CO2 removal factories and other technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the sky. With all these measures in place, the world can still expect a bare minimum temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius over the next few decades, still, a grim outcome that will eviscerate most of the world’s coral reefs and make many low-lying regions uninhabitable.
We are so royally fucked. There is no way we will make that target. :dts:
