Now imagine the future where every single day is at or above the record set 80 years ago

Brands that don't buy enough X adds you mean

I think there are still lots of people holding out hope that we steer off the cliff, but meanwhile we're still globally using as much fossil fuels as we ever have and while there are things on the horizon the CO2 in the air is not going anywhere. So we are going to have major problems to deal with in terms of human sustainability even if we went 100% green today.

Humans are smart, we need time to change entire species to a more sustainable living. Time we just don't have. So it's time we skip the BS and start talking about where we are going to get water, how we are going to farm, how we are going to keep the oceans from destroying our coastlines etc..

If we start now we might be able to mitigate some of the effects of climate change or at the very least make it so not everyone just immediately loses all their assets and/or dies from lack of water or starvation.

Let's avoid mad max if we can.

I'm not saying we give up the fight on eradicating fossil fuels from our system, but I imagine the downvoters took my post that way. It's just if you spend about 10 seconds watching CNBC or listening to our politicians you'll find out pretty quick they don't care about climate change all that much. Just making money.. Even the politicians that do care the best they can do is try to help the "free market" move us to a sustainable future lol. Just not going to work.

We have some major water crisis going on right now in a lot of places in the US. Not just deserts. The water wars will be coming much sooner than we anticipated if we don't start to prepare for it.

20% stock fall isn't broke dude.. not in the least.

they most definitely have not gone broke sir.

Politicians, especially republicans, have tried to make it a bad word for the sole purpose of keeping their sheep in line. They ONLY want them listening to pod casts for all their information and believing every single thing they hear.

That's how that entire republican party likes their people so they can feed them misinformation and have it not be fact checked. It's like the easiest way for propaganda to be used as a weapon.

Turn the idiots against fact checking lol.

yeah my main problem is while we're over here still arguing with people about climate change's existence and the loud solution is to somehow rid ourselves overnight of fossil fuels.. Meanwhile that's all fine and dandy, but even if we stopped using fossil fuels today the damage is there and we're already seeing critical water shortages in tons of places.

It's time to accept that we are going to have to live through this to some degree until science hopefully finds a way to suck the carbon out of the air.

The hurricanes, the floods, the droughts.. all things we need to start working on solving. Droughts being front and center. We need to desalinate. There is just no way around it. We need to get started on that effort yesterday.

at this point we need to be spending all our money on SURVIVING climate change. We can work on mitigating as well, but we're past the point of no return and still arguing if it's even an actual thing lol.

bruh.. I think you WAY over estimate "lots of people" on lemmy or reddit even. It's small change compared to the BILLIONS who don't give a fuck

developing countries are absolutely choosing EVs and actually 2 wheeled EVs because they are cheap, reliable, and take up less space. So this idea that they'll be all ICE cars is not right in the least. In fact China and India both of which are developing countires are adopting these in droves. The data is there.

The snowball has started and very quickly oil demand will be in terminal decline. Doesn't do anything to the short term problem, but does help with the very long term problem.

For now we need to figure out how to get carbon out of the atmosphere that's where governments need to step in and find scientific solutions to this problem while we transition. But.... The GOP is everywhere unfortunately

sadly, I don't think it's liberals moving to the state. Cali has a lot of republicans that are looking for a place to be where they can feel superior and literally control women. They get off to this story the folks moving to TX.
