Granted this is the normal human condition. Also as our pal below Noel Coward sings, "Bad times are just around the corner". Truer lyrics never sung. If you read any news or dare watch TV or online mayhem you know the score.
We're fucked.
It's not a matter of 'if' the reptilians eat us all, but what kind of sauce they'll use. I foolishly went to a smarty pants science site. A place where people who can read with comprehension gather.
Boy are we fucked.
The heating of the planet is going twice as fast as any of them smart guys thought. They're no longer talking about stopping it or even slowing it down. Rather how to manage the survival of whoever is still alive in 50 years.
A 10 foot rise in sea levels in just those 50 years not the 150 that the official line sez. 'But,...50. Yeah it's like that.
Then they say that's the least of it.
World temps will make whole regions uninhabitable for parts of the year. It will get to 160+ in the mid-east parts of Africa, and much of Australia. Did I mention the defrosting of the permafrost.
This lets loose climate killer methane, and deadly ancient bugs.
Some of this already happen in a portion of Saudi Arabia.
Fucking last year!
Didn't see that did you? It was buried in the science pages where no one ever goes except wonks looking for tenure, and post grads who would rather be getting laid.
Palm trees ignited, and gas tanks in parked cars exploded.
Basically by 2300 large parts of the Earth will not be 'like' Venus,...but actually fucking frying ass VENUS! "Hot enuff for ya?"

Even w/this I'm holding back. But never mind.
Back to the 'real' News.
"What did Trump do today, and what did Lady Gaga have for lunch?"
Oh don't be like that,...Cheer up! We're all going to Die!
On the up side the surviving One Percent will spend their summers on Mars. It will still be cold there,...till they fuck that place up too.
ReplyDeleteI plan on not worrying about all that. There ain't jack we can do about it other than burning less carbon personally, and most of us won't be here for most of it (unless we reincarnate, which I admit is possible).
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is a possibility that the severity of these predictions is greater than warranted. They tend to assume that only positive feedback loops are in play, whereas negative feedback loops also exist. For instance, methane loses its greenhouse effects after about ten years due to decay, so they do not go on mounting exponentially forever.
I think one factor may be that our rulers would like to use climate issues as a way of controlling us. The French Yellow Vests rebellion started as a response to fuel taxes that were far more onerous for poor and working class people than for the privileged. There may be climate change-related suffering coming down the pike, but I bet it won't all be shared round equally.
As for Saudi Arabia spontaneously combusting - couldn't happen to a nicer country.

Ka-BOOM!!!
ReplyDeleteMy 'hood will be an island sooner than we thought. Brooklyn will be a series of islands Queens underwater,...half of Manhattan. As for the Bronx, and Staten Island,...who cares.
ReplyDeleteTime was the boys in the know didn't want to think of geoengineering partial solutions to the damage we are doing. The whole moral hazard thing being a concern. However they're thinking about it now, what with the whole extinction of humanity thing.
ReplyDeletePadraig
Our owners have two questions.
ReplyDeleteFirst can we still make money? Second how many people do we need still alive to work for us.
"How do you tell Seven Billion people that only half a billion of them will still be alive in a few years."
"...You don't."
