      We are keeping our carbon cap and trade system here in Washington at least. We will be helping world CO2 emissions go down 0.3% (~100 million tons out of the 35 billion tons).

      When I can afford it in the next few years, I plan on doing solar on the house. I drive as infrequently as possible and prefer my motorbike over my car (though my car is also only 660cc engine). I grow some of my own food and plan to steadily increase that as I learn and get better at farming. I try to buy local and regional where possible. I’ve stopped buying beef at home and it is now a special occasion food a handful of times a year.

      I’m just one dude and ultimately make little difference, but I do care.

      It’s just a once in a lifetime flood, bro! Sure, it’s the third one this year, but c’mon! It’s just normal seasonal cycles!

        It was deliberately hampered to produce poorly educated people who are easier to swindle.

        The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That’s why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.

        It was getting in the way of people voting for the most populist person so they got rid of it. It’s now replaced with a combination of pavlovian reward system + “stay in line” reminders, so that voters can go for the simplest campaign promise (eg: make america great again), without struggling to understand if the ‘how’ can actually accomplish the ‘what’.

    I’ve accepted for a while now that “this is it”. Despite all our meming about our retirement being dying in the coming water wars… reality won’t be that far off.

    As someone who always struggled to find reasons to live, I sure as hell can’t see any now. This world is a literal hell unless you’re rich. In that case it’s your little playground and we the npc’s who populate it.

    I think I’d much rather save myself the trouble and suffering.

    So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won’t have a global climate crisis before 2061?

    I need someone to convince me, please.

        I’m not convinced he’s clever enough to control the inevitable infighting that would spring up after Trump.

          Thiel is. This is round two for Trump and his handlers have a better plan for dealing with him. Hell, they’ve probably already agreed on what to do when he dies in office. He’s way too old and in poor health for them not to have that plan already planned out.

    Trump plans on addressing climate concerns. He’s already going to put RFK Jr in charge of health and he’s going to ban vaccines. Reducing the population will help lower emissions.

      This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn’t help much if we burn even more.

      I mean he’s more likely to privatize the system more, Pfizer, Moderna , and etc all have big money and deep pockets.

      At the end of the day money is the important part for these people
