Climate change has already created draughts and food shortages. It has already pushed animals into ecosystems where they don’t belong leading to destruction of those ecosystems. Ocean acidification has been killing fish populations.
These have created instability in countries across the world as people grapple with worsening conditions. This has lead to conflicts that have created massive amounts of refugees, which in turn has been creating populist and authoritarian attitudes in the west as we deal with refugees knocking on our door. This has created massive rifts in our societies and ultimately is the connecting factor for the issues we face.
As my old history professor would say about global conflicts- it’s the bottom of the 9th, the bases are loaded, and it’s always mother nature up to bat.
Your patience and calmness are infinite, and I wish I could follow you on this instance. I too have been conditioned toward alarmism but have been getting over it, and I see your point.
Like they kept telling us inflation was supply chain issues since COVID, but when you do the digging, it’s corporate price-gouging, from corporate farm to corporate processors, to corporate distributors, to the corporate chain stores. The only ones not making huge profits are independent retailers, who may or not have a higher or lower price than a corporation, on any given good on any given day (that doesn’t inherently make them good or evil). You’re making me think and the conclusions are certainly not ThE oBvIoUs ones. Thank you.
Then we shouldn’t have declared war on, and declared mother nature our enemie. We could have respected her and accepted reasonable limits, rather than growth, expansion and profit at all costs, especially to ourselves. And we can stop doing that.
gestures broadly at the world that has been increasingly crumbling
You sure about that?

Withdrew legal justification for factories to limit mercury emissions

Have you noticed that people claim the earth is round, but your eyes tell you a different story?
What the fuck are you on about, dude?

Oh yeah, we really screwed up the season by not picking Mother Nature in round one of the draft.
“Hi I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from such films as 'Man vs. Wild; the Road to Victory”
I would broadly agree with that, except for the documented attempts to subvert the election. I think that ones pretty uniquely bad

You think that January 6 was the kind of “legal thing” that all candidates do?
