end of human species and the final bankruptcy of social security are on a collision path.

MAGAs don't care about the future. They are too selfish to think about such abstract things.

I kind of care, but not enough to do anything about it. I mean, I recycle and respect the planet as best I can, but let’s be real. What difference will it make at this point? We’re probably fvcked. Hell, we could be the 8th or 9th iteration of human civilization this planet has seen. Billions of years, we’re here for a blink of an eye.

You are probably not wrong. But I tend to sleep better knowing that I'm not part of the problem. Getting solar quotes this summer.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Agree with solar, what can I really do, personally, to make a difference? Nothing really, so my mind wanders into how to adapt to it

My wife (no pics) and I have been recently taking about building a house. This article made me think about scraping a traditional wood frame build and going to a steel framed structure… because I do full heartedly agree that storms will become worse and worse, so I think I’d want a structure that can withstand as much as possible. And of course have backup power sources, etc

What is the price range. I know some folks here in town that actually get paid back for adding to the grid

I held the the same view. I was born in 1973 and grew up watching the nightly news in the 80s during the Cold War and every night it started out with some sort of nuclear threat from the Soviet Union. Scary shit. I eventually grew callous to the thought of mutual assured destruction and just said **** it. Then I had kids and they ****ed up my coping mechanism.

 

[DropitlikeitsHawk]

I’m curious where electricity comes from? Do we manage China or Indias emissions? How about the countries with ports in Africa on the new Silk Road?

Stupid kids ruin everything 😂

Why do we have cola machines that can make 1000+ combinations, but new cars only come in 7 stock colors? Can they stick the soda machine in there with paint?

And yet Trump just told the oil companies that if they raise a billion dollars for him he’ll free them from the horrible Biden rules.

I for one am enjoying the hell out of my new Mazda CX-5 Carbon Turbo that has sucky gas mileage but lots of ZOOM-ZOOM!

I smile every time I push that START button and she enthusiastically roars to life.

True. Probably falling on deaf ears as they have it pretty good under Joe.

How is this “without comment” when you posted, “they scared”?

 

[tarheelbybirth]

We could hit 3C by 2050 - the warming is accelerating. We'll definitely hit it before 2100. But what the hell - we won't be around to see what we did so fvck it.

end of human species and the final bankruptcy of social security are on a collision path.

The ‘bankruptcy’ of SS just means they’ll have about 77 cents to pay out for each dollar they should. So they’ll do what they’ve done in the past to raise taxes and/or reduce benefits.

A shitty deal will just become a shittier deal, it won’t ever die.

Not enough, you'll still be part of the problem,.. but perhaps you'll sleep better.

I agree with you…. But isn’t it suspicious?

 

[Rifler]

What's suspicious?,.. it's just math.

Short of meteor event end of humanity isn’t in the cards.
I don’t want any part of being a post-apocalyptic tribesman scraping a living in nuclear winter, so I’m hoping we don’t go the WW3 route.
Naked and Afraid can be entertaining to watch, but I’m not interested in living it.

end of human species and the final bankruptcy of social security are on a collision path.

it's not the end of the human species

it's the threats to the literal trillions of dollars of investments we made in communities over the decades that are going to feel the impacts of climate change

humans as a species will be fine, just like earth as a planet will be fine

countries and communities whose power and influence in the world depends on their advanced development and financial capacity may not be

Maybe the Rockefellers and such calculated the end of time for humans and created a path to distribute as much wealth as possible.

The idea was hatched in the Industrial Revolution by Freemasons, Rockefellers, and put into play with the social security act.
