If global heating reaches 2°C by 2100, mostly wealthier humans could be responsible for the deaths of one billion mostly poorer humans.

    To give some perspective, that’s a little less than two Nazi holocausts per year for 100 years.

      Damn, the fact this is the case yet the threat is still ignored says a lot about where we’re at collectively!

        Collectively, I’d say we’re on a gradient ranging from denial to resignation on the stages of grief model.

        A lot of people means there’s a lot of social inertia before we see the change reflected as a species.

    But, but… money! Greed is good and definitely not degenerate! Just attend these liberal psy-op-I mean… getyogethers to learn how we mentally pirouette through ideological justifications.

      Right…The greedy justifications are looking wacker and wacker directly due to the planet becoming less and less habitable. Hopefully society as a whole will wake up before it’s too late.

      They’ve been there for a very long time. They make us sick, shorten our lives but clearly don’t kill enough people to register on the global population counter.

      Having a plan which can be legally enforced would be a solid place to start.

      Anarchy. Anything short of literally ‘removing’ those in power and dismantling all of the corporations that are perpetuating the bullshit by force will result in a planet that will be uninhabitable for our grandchildren. Possibly our children.
