billions of people are going to unnecessarily suffer and die in the next few hundred years and the survivors of an unidentifiable and still-worsening world will hate all of us for forcing them to inherit completely avoidable problems created before they were even born

This probably could have been written at any point since like the year 100 and it would have still been correct, just more correct the later it was written.

Don't worry, GAWD gave us this planet to gently caress up like a lovely timeshare (just ignore Leviticus 25:23 and Psalm 24:1 :shepface: ), but just you wait, he's gonna upgrade all his 'preferred clients' to his *premium* property *any day now*! Because *REASONS*!

Qur'an goes the opposite direction, basically saying take care of poo poo or you get got because god won't protect you from the consequences that you earned by being stupid.

Anything is possible, theologically, once you've manoeuvred your brain into ignoring all that stuff about "sell your possessions and give the money to the poor" and "love your enemies" etc etc

uh buddy she's also one of the few public figures on the entire planet that's actually talking about how this is the biggest issue on earth

here are some choice greta thunberg quotes:

"we can't change the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed."

"Some people, some companies, some decision makers in particular have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money. I think many of you here today belong to that group of people." (that one was at Davos)

"I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house was on fire—because it is". (that one was also at Davos)

"According to the IPCC, we are less than 12 years away from not being able to undo our mistakes. In that time, unprecedented changes in all aspects of society need to have taken place, including a reduction of our CO2 emissions by at least 50%"



she would honestly fit right in in this thread

the only difference is she's also a really prominent public figure and the right absolutely loves attacking her and trying to find any trace of hypocrisy in her actions that they could use to discredit her and the entire climate crisis movement, so it actually is absolutely imperative that she do things like avoid flying so that they can't pull out the Al Gore/Leonardo DiCaprio line and say "look what a hypocrite telling us we need to restructure our entire civilization while still enjoying all the carbon-emitting benefits of our civilization like flying everywhere to attend protests"

But have you considered that fusion reactors would have high capital costs but almost no marginal costs per extra kwh? That doesn't make for good rent seeking behavior!

Also I hear theyre full of dangerous science atoms and nobody likes those except those nerds who probably understand how airplanes fly.

Lost Cities and Climate Change

quote:

“The climate has changed before,” say people who want to minimize the scale of the current challenge. I have never understood how anyone could find this comforting. The natural climate changes that have shaped human history have almost always been smaller and more regionally contained than the large-scale human-caused change we are currently experiencing. And even these changes have provoked suffering, scapegoating, and the collapse of civilizations.
