Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

If you go do some traveling, maybe travel to Bangladesh or India. Go tell everyone you meet there:
"hello my name is whiny crybaby. Your country is beautiful. Thank you for spending your entire lives in sweatshops making my lovely clothing. I decided to travel the world before it all goes to poo poo. Sorry that your neighborhood is going to be swallowed by the sea, that your first born will die from dehydration, and that the air you breath burns your lungs. That sucks. I was going to do something about it climate change, but there was a chance that none of my efforts would have matter. Doing something in vain sounds awful, so instead I came here to gently caress your prostitutes, eat your food, and buy your cheap poo poo before you all die in conditions worse than torture."

I never even got to travel 'cause I got born poor to an unwed teenage mother in the middle of Detroit lol, furthest I've been is to the shore of Lake Michigan and Cedar Point twice as a kid. If only I hadn't gone to Ohio we'd be fine now.

My favorite part is that the scientists withheld how bad things were gonna be because they didn't want to scare people away.

What is coming is way worse and is gonna happen way sooner than any of the studies predicted because they fudged the data and numbers so it wouldn't be too scary.

this is so loving stupid. small and medium sized institutions very often experience a structural change due to the championing of a single person or a small group of individuals. People that are passionate, hard-working, and dedicated make a huge difference.
These individuals aren't super genius or anything, they're just hardworking and committed. That's loving it.
Sure we're not going to be able tear down capitalism at this stage. But capitalism's contradictions are becoming more and more apparent, and eventually the conditions may be ripe for transition away from capitalism. But if people are simply giving up, and there are no champions to help usher a better world, then that leaves the reactionaries as leaders in the new world.

The only reason that you don't think that individuals can make a difference is because you're a pathetic loser that has never actually tried to make a difference. You're finding excuses for your own inaction.

i'm glad fire alarms weren't designed by mainstream climate scientists. instead of loud alarms and directions to exit the building immediately, they'd be recordings going "so, ok. things are looking a little weird in this building right now, but no need to panic. there's no reason to believe this fire (if you can even call it that) will become dangerous, because the last thing i'd want is for you to become worried. you know what, just never mind."

I seriously don't understand (because I'm crazy and retarded most likely,) but why won't Canada / The Artic / Northern Russia become fertile green spaces when things warm up?

Like wasn't there a time when there were no polar ice caps like before the cretaceous period?

Please don't yell at me, I'm googling but I don't understand what I'm reading.

Depends on what you consider 'soil', the peat moss up in Alberta dried out so hardcore that it becomes a powdered explosive that bursts into flames when disturbed.

They don't have good crop soil, they have a lovely soil that won't support mass agricultural and will just wash away when it rains too hard.

As a generalized rule for every 1C of warming you need around 15% more precipitation to avoid having essentially a wildfire season, and right now the arctic is a number of Cs above what used to be normal with also probably less rain and snow.

Someone post that thing where they modeled that California will have no trees left by 2050 due to nonstop fire.
