weast posted:does anyone have that one quote from the last thread about how aerosols or something might have saved us from climate change being super hellworld already, so something that seemingly is just a good thing to reduce might doom us unintentionally, and also whatever we do to stop climate change we have to go all in on and whatever we start doing we can't stop? global dimming, maybe?

When the sky is a deep unhealthy shade of red and there isn't a cloud in sight the plants and animals rotting and trash piled high the last baby boomer will roll their station wagon into the last gas station and, mouth breathing tooth decaying meat breath in the high 100 degrees heat they will swipe their card and the machine will tell them to insert it into the chip reader lol

we took the bus for several years to work/grocery shopping/appointments and we planned ahead. the problem is that public transport is really unreliable, prone to delays, and just wastes more of our precious time off, especially when you're working full/nearly-full time and don't want to spend an extra 30 minutes waiting for the next bus bc the first one didn't show we had to just get a lyft several times because the bus was already over half an hour late and then still never showed after waiting for the lyft. I don't mind taking the bus/train. I like it. I have a license but don't have a car and I hate driving. I walk to work and to get groceries for the most part, but I'm lucky to live within walking distance to most of what I need, and also right on a bus line if it's necessary. obviously the solution is to loving fund public transport and the infrastructure to support it being accessible, reliable and yes, free, but lol america

vyelkin posted:Over time everything gets steadily more expensive and you start not being able to always buy whatever you want, either because it's now out of your price range or because there are actual shortages of things like coffee. Weather gets more severe and less predictable. People you know have their homes and livelihoods destroyed by extreme weather events and have to decide whether to rebuild or start over somewhere new with nothing. If you're unfortunate enough to live somewhere like the desert (lol Phoenix, Arizona) then it will become actually unaffordable to live there at all because you'll spend more on air conditioning than you make in income. Every summer you hear about hundreds of elderly people whose air conditioning broke and they died of heatstroke in their own home. Diseases that haven't been seen in your country for decades or centuries start to reappear, like malaria. Diseases that have never appeared in your country before, like Zika or Dengue, also start to appear. Mosquitoes seem to be the one insect that isn't dying out.
