We cracked 2° C globally for the first time ever yesterday

Looking at liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate like
- liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate
  I got a push poll from my Congresswoman, Liz Fletcher (D), accusing her biggest primary race rival of being a far-left extremist who would destroy the Houston economy with his climate alarmism. The poll also accused him of sponsoring Hamas terrorism and being weak on women's rights because he wouldn't negotiate on an abortion bill.
  Still a little squishy on Pervez Agwan, but Fletcher's poll did not help her case.
  
  Political polls be like:
  Do you support: (A) TERRORIST DEATH AND VIOLENCE (B) RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE
  Published results: 99% of people support ME!
  
  Houston had not only like 100+ days of 100 degree weather, but we were also entering emergency water management conservation AND fire danger all over texas. It also doesn't help that Houston has a chemical plant explosion every other month. The idea that the economy and climate are separate it's so unhinged. Who is her opponent?
- I see you're complaining about climate change again.
  Have you personally spent your entire life recycling everything you can, composting all organic materials you touch, eliminating all red meat intake, planting multiple trees per year, growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own, avoiding purchasing any plastics despite everything being packaged as such, not buying anything anything beyond your extreme basic necessities, never flying in an airplane for any reason, preferring to keep anything broken and virtually unusable instead of replacing it since repairing it is either unavailable or too expensive, and only riding ebikes or only driving Teslas to save the environment?
  No? Then you're the real problem and you can't complain.
  
  growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own,
  What's funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]
  
  composting all organic materials you touch,
  oil executives are made out of backwards chiral proteins, probably aliens
  
  I mean you should be trying to do some of these as much as possible...
  big "oh you claim to care about animals but you still eat cheese then you're the problem" vibes, like... yes, that is actually correct?
  
  Even if they did all that, they'd wipe out all that carbon-savings by having a single kid in the US.
- Oooh saving this one, thank you
- most useful image ever to be produced by AI

When I was young, they told me we were working on new technology and it was going to stop the climate issue.
- We are truly in
  times

Still huffing that "maybe China can do geoengineering" copium so I don't fucking kill myself
- we're gonna see the global south independently start dumping calcium carbonate into the upper atmosphere within a decade, mark my words
  i wish em luck
  
  Sulphate aerosols, probably. Calcium carbonate is better for land/ocean based geoengineering. But yeah: the potential for unilateral action with stratospheric aerosol injection in particular is very high. There's some evidence that doing it from the southern hemisphere will help mitigate some of the negative side effects, but that's still inconclusive. We desperately need to talk about the global governance of this stuff before we deploy it, but we won't.
  
  I hope that will cure my GERD
- China, build the solar sunshade
  
  My money is also on some form of arcologies as well if it gets bad enough
- We're going to turn the sky white with artificial clouds to block out the sun because that's the stupidest and easiest thing to do.
  We'll still hit 4 degrees C, but we also won't have a blue sky anymore.
  
  And then fossil fuel companies will use it as an excuse to keep fucking the planet. Changing the albedo with clouds is at best a delay of the inevitable.
- wrongshway erB will unironically do the mayocide
  then there will at least be a lot of habitable land in the north
  I will not flesh this out further, you have to read into it
  
  wrongshway erB
  Is that some kind of pig-latin or code that we're supposed to "read into"? or is one of us having a stroke?

Yeah, it's time to start making apologies for the lack of terror

to the big oil capitalists
- Finally, someone speaking some sense.

born too late to live past 50, born too early to not be born because complex life on earth is extinct, born just in time to die
- eat hot chip and die

I'm sure the sun will move away from us any day now and we can go back to normal
- Putting sulfates in the atmosphere to dim the sun
  Putting a big sunshade between the Earth and the Sun
  Pushing the Earth further away
  
  Patrick Star for president
- Why did I think that was Todd Howard at first? It makes no sense.
  
  My Dragonborn Shouts Don't Work Because My Mouth Despawned
  
  Because Todd Howard games are perfectly balanced with no exploits whatsoever. We should put him in charge of the earth.

please god can we just start killing the people responsible before we turn our home into fucking venus
- libs are too brainwashed
  
  fuck 'em. we don't need them for this part.

think reading this made me dissociate

Welp, line goes up...

every day I get closer to

My heart yearns for The Terror.

Comrades, this scares me.

Yeah but have you considered the oil industry shareholder profits?

It's been swell Holocene, hope whatever comes next does a better job than us...

Anyone else notice the USDA Growing zones have shifted a bunch too?
Some guy in Ohio noted that his area used to be 4b and is now 7b which is warm enough to grow limes. In the West Coast the change has been a creation of shitloads of microclimates all over the damn place.
- The USDA actually updated their zone map the other day to account for this. Some regions saw significant changes.

what the fuck, how is this year so so much worse than last year?!
- It's a very strong El Niño this year, for the first time since 2017. La Niña typically suppresses global average temperatures, while El Niño raises them.
- Feedback loops?
- Non linear systems?

Ah, but its a balmy 72 degrees in late November right now, so actually everything is fine.
- I'm gonna be sunbathing during the winter solstice
  
  I mean, that's not a terrible idea given how little daylight we get.

And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...
We're going to need to get ready to throw absolutely everything we have at a worldwide climate revolution. Strife, misery, and death is coming regardless.
- good thing the west is doing absolutely nothing to clean up its mess!

This is fine

I've been asked didnt I think it odd that I should be present to witness the death of everything and I do think it's odd but that doesnt mean it's not so.

Damn

Imagining a sci-fi series set in the distant future where sentient birds rule the earth and treat apes with the same contempt a lot of people treat stuff like spiders and snakes
- Would sentient bird furries put on pink-guy suits and call themselves skinnies?
  
  I think it's more likely that they'd engage in dinosaur dress-up (yes I know birds are dinosaurs but you know what I mean).
