when the polar cell fails we enter a radically different climate regime that we don't even begin to understand the implications of. lol if my alarmist views on the first BOE turn out to be 5-6 years late.

We have a pretty good idea what will happen, though? We keep getting crazy weather, hotter summers, and polar vortex winters until the jet stream dies. Once that happens, we stop getting as much seasonal variation: toward the equator just stays hot all year, and toward the poles just stays (relatively) cold all year, for a little while anyway, as the global temperature continues to rise. Eventually everywhere is hot. The end, no moral.

We know with reasonable certainty the broad strokes that I just described, because we have geological evidence of previous coolings and warmings. Minutiae such as exactly how long it'll take seem kind of irrelevant to me.

Except the timelines are kind of critical, no? like, 5 years is very different from 25 years in terms of survival and some kind of potential adaptation.

Why? You can't do anything about it, either way. If you're going to get murdered for your water in 5 years, knowing it today won't change that.

Let me put a timeline out for you, if we hit BoE I recommend you cash out everything and do whatever you wanted to do before you die, like, immediately because it'll probably go to hell fast.Addamere posted:Why?

You could get run over by a drunk driver five minutes after reading this post, or give yourself an aneurysm on the shitter after hogging down some fine American cuisine. Live life as and if you can. Who the gently caress has anything to cash out?

With the exception of a few bougie computer touchers, most of us are already there. For the vast majority of humans on this planet, that is the only life they have ever known and will ever know. So what? The end, no moral.

If you're a bougie gently caress then go live it up. Most of us are not and do not have that option. We will die as we lived: unimportant, broke, and miserable.
