    Duh, but Russia and China appear to be betting it will benefit them and you can’t convince them otherwise.

      China has mythology about dynasties causing natural disasters through bad policies that disrupt the environment, and Pooh bear is changing his tone since the crazy series of natural disasters China has been having… They got a lot of flak for mishandling them, and, since finding out their military is in no shape to invade Taiwan, they’re trying to show they can change before they get ousted

      Russia was an economy the size of Mexico, before the latest sanctions hit (and we started investing in Mexican production to get away from China). They might be right - they’re pretty far north, and they’d probably benefit from global upheaval - they have much less to lose, especially the regime (which is on very shaky footing due to Ukraine)

      2024 has been a hell of a year. Russia is in no place to care about the long term, and the CCP could fall if they don’t reform by the people’s demands… The world is changing

      We need to prepare, the adversaries have turned out to be toothless, but climate change is already here

        CCP is in for real problems population wise. You never want to have 2x as many retired people as you have working and they’re basically heading for that.

      If any country stands to benefit from global warming it’s probably Russia tbh. China, I really doubt it though.

    Seize the handful of companies that create the majority of pollution and put their top shareholders in prison.

    Or just keep, ya know, ineffectually moaning about it.

      Not only.

      Don’t forget the mars one guys from 10 years ago which I told was a scam so we’re recruiting people to join

      There was exactly 1 rocket scientist on that team and the heads of the team were in marketing, and the vast majority were people you’d never trust to even drive your car (mostly sales people)

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One

      People on Reddit were defending them at the time. I told them it wouldn’t happen, because they need proper engineers and scientists.

      Looks like the rocket engineer should have worked harder though

    #The US military is the world’s largest polluter (contributor to climate change).

    Fuck any statement from ANY member of that government that doesn’t involve a complete scale back on ALL imperialist bullshit activity, including all military and “intelligence” action, covert or overt.

    They have had a hand in creating most of the global issues still affecting us all today, of the last 150 years.

    Climate change will be manageable once their “society” falls, and capitalism is buried in the landfill it created of what’s left of our planet.
