Are we being ironic or serious ITT because I believe that the nations of the world, particularly those that reside along coastlines, will band together to devise some method of delaying the onset of or potentially even mitigating global warming

Between the US, Canada, half of South America/Africa/Europe (esp. Nordic peninsula)/Asia, and other assorted countries, surely we could accomplish something, right guys

Right

The climate change makes the weather a lot better most of the time for most people. A couple species of birds and polar bears die off, but I get to have a longer summer and less severe winter? Sounds doable.

they say that stratospheric aerosol injection could probably be done for only a few hundred million dollars. probably some rich rear end in a top hat will do it of his own accord and gently caress the entire world up even worse somehow

The plan seems to be for rich people to insulate themselves from it and then use it as an excuse to kill off the surplus population. A good plan, imo.


When starvation and displacement get rampant, they'll just blame the poors for being poor and say "higher fences! thicker walls!"

To be honest, libs in the Clinton era defunding the IFR breeder reactor program was a huge kick in the dick for environmental sustainability. Only way through is forward.

You don't understand. When Americans riot they steal shoes. When Canadians riot its because of hockey we don't steal anything we just trash cop cars and Starbucks. Either way they fold at the first sign of a nightstick.

When third worlders riot they actually go after rich people and arent even scared of attack helicopters.

Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
On the plus side the cannibalistic revolution will be quick as f35 fall out of they sky for no reason and five cellphones taped together reroute all the unhackable drones back to their launch points and the new Lockheed martian electrically fired guns stop working because the guns exceeded 72ºC. Then the poor will literally eat the rich.

I love the pay to play military industrial complex.
