Thread for discussion of how we as a society/species/biosphere are totally fucked proceeds below, rather than all over the Ameripol Thread.

LOL

Purging is at last at hand. Day of Doom is here. All that is evil, all their allies; your parents, your leaders, those who would call themselves your judges; those who have lied and corrupted the Earth, they shall all be cleansed.

Despite the fact that wierd and I disagree on the topic, it's something that should be discussed and spinning it off into its own topic is just a way to ignore it.

Anyway, I'm done if this is where it's heading. I'm reasonably expecting the planet to let me live another decade or two at least. I'm happy if I get that much. Anything beyond that would be for future generations and if you guys don't care to discuss it then no argument here.

True, more world politics, but the US's bullshit is pretty heavily integrated.

I think this would be better served with a "world politics" thread though. That would include many diverse subjects, not just ecology or world economy.


(LOL at the biblical tonality there. Hilariously enough, the very people in the US most responsible for the ecological harm to the planet, are the very ones looking forward to the return of their messianic figure, even though he explicitiy states in his literature that he comes to destroy them for destroying the earth. I think they are all just crazy masochists that get off on breaking things.)

Yes, but by the time we realized the true extent of the damage we'd inflicted it was far too late to fix it. There are really no longer any good answers.

Hey, hands up everyone doomsaying about how there's "nothing we can do" who has actually read the primary literature on climate change and proposed solutions. Not pop science articles, not summaries, but the actual data.
