      We won’t, and in fact we’ll keep running right towards it until society collapses. And even then we will continue to make things worse.

        People will live in a world where your hair catches fire outside and still claim that climate change isn’t real, since there is still snow on pluto

      We will never solve this problem, and most of us don’t realize or just don’t care. Like the people around me, they don’t realize that even in June-July we have heavy rains when we should have a summer. Since I live near the equator, this is something very unusual.

      Just save your money from now on, just in case everything around you collapses.

        No, people do not notice. Makes me want to scream.

        Last 2 years, the little ponds at my camp dried up. Killed the fish that eat the mosquitoes and killed the dragonfly larvae who would eat mosquitos as adults. This is in FLORIDA, in a SWAMP. The mosquitoes are so bad we can’t go out there, even hosed down in bug repellent.

        No one but me would have a clue as to why the place is so infested. They would just say it sucks, but what do you expect in a swamp. NO, I never had mosquitoes before!

          It’s like with snow over here. When i was a child, i would sometimes go to school on skis, we hardly ever had snow days. Last year it snowed maybe twice and the little bit of snow lasted a day or two. The year before it was a week or so.

          interesting… I also saw no sign of the hurricane coming, instead other states were flooded.

    The time is already out, there is nothing to indicate that there is any kind of meaningful action to avoid the worst impacts, the same as before it being “worse impacts”

    It is already here and almost everything to indicate it is worsening.

    Oh I gave up on rich people and mega corps doing the right thing ages ago. We’re well and truly fucked.

    Even if they believed it, a significant polluter put Trump in charge of those three years and don’t care or don’t believe in climate change.

    I’m sure Trump will get right on that. This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
