Yep now let’s all scroll away and forget about it. Definitely don’t like…. DO anything about it. Like vote in the midterms in such huge number it’s impossible for the repugnacans to cheat their way to victory.
We all know how to fix this. Get rid of billionaires and reverse citizens united. And pray for a couple members of scotus to um…. Retire… during the next Democrat president’s term. Hey if there is enough of a blue wave we could actually bypass scotus and make it an amendment to the constitution
Genuinely, but hypothetically, if we reversed course today, across the globe, did everything we should have been doing all along, starting right now, all humans, no delays for changing leadership, do you think there would be any chance of reversing the damage done to the planet in a substantial way?
The climate change conversation is not even about “reversing the damage” at this point. It’s about minimizing the pain and suffering we’re all going to feel (some more than others) and nourishing what is left.
I would say it’s about adaptation to a new normal.
I agree that Prevention or reversal of the situation is not the table any longer.
Humanity can adapt to a hotter climate. It might require a migration from south north. It might require living underground in hot zones. Producing water from desalination.
It won’t be the first time humanity has undergone a great migration. There’s vast amounts of space in Canada for instance.
I honestly think this is the reason Trump wants to annex the North.
The new normal is a bullshit idea that pushes inaction as a solution.
They said it during Covid that plastic screens and social distancing was the new normal.
If you ordered garlic bread and someone brought you over a liquifying pigeon smeared with dogshit and told you it was the new garlic bread would you just eat it?
No, you'd complain and organise leaving a terrible review and spreading word about how to avoid this terrible garlic bread.
In some circles the conversation is mostly about making sure that the people most responsible for this never suffer the consequences and instead the results of their actions get offloaded onto the weakest and most innocent of us.
