  • Mostly correct. One note: the experts have been saying it’s worse than the IPCC (or any government) says it is since the 90s. The experts, in universities and legit research institutions all around the world, have long known this is going to be a shit show, and they have already accepted that we did not do what was needed to avoid impacts on the world that have a good chance to end human civilisation and kill billions of people. It’s not a slam dunk, btw, there are still ways to get away with, say, only hundreds of millions dead from starvation, war, disease, heatstroke, etc.

    But no expert who has been paying attention thinks we’re getting out of this without at least that. I know a few of them, they’ve actually done their grieving already because they know we didn’t stop it when we could, and they know what’s coming.








  • We’re having this same discussion in Australia, where the number of guns you can own is now being restricted quite heavily. However, the limits are quite reasonable for people who need it for farm work, sports shooting, hunting etc. I’d hate to be a collector, because that might not be a thing any more.

    As a country though we’re making the choice to prioritise lives over convenience, as we often do. And for that I am happy.
