Is Climate Change Hopeless At This Point?

[Red Shield]

Where do you see global civilization in 60 years?

I don't expect there to be a global collapse of civilization..

World goes back to being a big place.

Some countries that exist now, will not exist anymore. The usa will definitely be gone. New countries will exist. Borders will be redraw.

All the mass migrations should be done with by then, so expect to see different people in places they weren't at before.

Global pop is 5-6 bill or less... War, pandemics, droughts, famines, etc...whole lotta death over the next 6 decades.

Considering all of the shyt that would have happened up to that point, I expect the world to be relatively peaceful. Maybe more peaceful then it is now.
Different economic systems not built on the whole "infinite growth over-consumption" economics of the current west.

and a explosion in technological innovation... not sure in which ways yet.

I can definitely see this level of mass ignorance being documented in history books and documentaries. Amazing to know just how far these people will be on the wrong side of history when its all said and done. Future generations will label this era as a time of mass delusion.

Once time travel is finally invented, people of the future will travel back to 2021 to live in the 'good ol days' when the planet was still semi-inhabitable.

The world's biggest carbon-removal plant just opened. In a year, it'll negate just 3 seconds' worth of global emissions.

Yahoo is now a part of Verizon Media

"This carbon capture and storage facility, named Orca, turned on two weeks ago after more than 18 months of construction. The fans are embedded in shipping container-sized boxes, and once the carbon dioxide is separated, it gets mixed with water then travels through snaking, fat tubes deep underground, where the carbon cools and solidifies.

Through this process, Orca can trap and sequester 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year - making it the largest facility of its kind in the world (though there are currently only two running).

"Think of it like a vacuum cleaner for the atmosphere," Julio Friedmann, an energy policy researcher at Columbia University who attended the plant's ribbon-cutting ceremony, told Insider. "Nothing else can do what this tech does."

According to the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon capture and storage is a necessary part of our best-case climate scenarios. But currently, facilities like Orca only negate a sliver of global emissions.

Climate scientist Peter Kalmus has done the math: "If it works, in one year it will capture three seconds worth of humanity's CO2 emissions," he wrote on Twitter."

I know you;'re half joking (or maybe not) but IMO we're just gonna eventually fukk up wherever we go if we can't figure out shyt down here.

Martians looking at the new human neighbors like "they're lowing the property value "

Interesting and very believable predictions, I think

also china....hate these perfectly curated tweets that select only the pics/data that aligns to their point while overlooking the majority of data to the contrary

in the best case scenario we can basically limit the effects to a series of rolling diasters that will sadly kill many people but that we can learn to "live" with, I think there is a growing consensus that we will have to act fast across the global economic space and governments (even those on the right from what I have seen) have pretty much conceded this point
the worst holdouts seem to be the major OPEC economies and surprise surprise the good ol GOP

in semi fairness to China the CCP does seem to have a good competent plan to address their massive pollution and carbon emissions they have just started behind the 8 ball at the moment do to historically poor environmental regulation

if we're giving platitudes for plans and semi action, then the twitter post still makes no sense as the fed has done things to address the environment, but furthermore, there is a level of autonomy states have to create their own plans and some states are well ahead of the curve. it's silly to attack the US's response by posting one state against another country. MTG is wrong, but using a china vs us argument aint really legit when china looks and operates like shyt re: the envionment

The answer is YES unfortunately. If we were to do something it should had been done in the 80s and 90s. The wealthy know this. This is why so many of them are buying up massive plots of land and bunkers all around the world. They know what's coming. Mitigation measures is needed but no world leader wants to admit we failed at climate change. So they will put this facade of ideas and plans to combat climate change that do very little. The IPCC report is right. We are entering the worst case scenario of climate and what's coming is going to be very ugly. The international order that arose after world war 2 will come undone because of climate change. The 2030s is where we will massive food insecurity in the global south, also water shortages hitting poor countries. What does this mean? More refugees fleeing to wealthy nations, these poor nations will collapse into civil war and chaos which means more terrorism. What we saw in Libya,Yemen,Syria and in Iraq were a prologue of things to come in a massive scale. That means water wars can be a thing. India and China have water disputes that is building up towards war. A war between India and China will easily be the bloodiest war in history. The combined population of both nations eclipse the global population in WW2. So if either nations loses one will collapse into total anarchy. Wars will be even more often than what we see now. White folks throw bytch fits about thousands of refugees at the border. Imagine MILLIONs of refugees from the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico flooding to the US border? We will see white folks in western countries embraces fascism. In the 2040s we will see food insecurity, water shortages, drought famine hit the wealthy nations and we will have internal social upheaval on top of millions of refugees flooding at the borders. Not to mention coastal cities becoming unlivable because of rising sea levels and crazy storms hitting them more often. In short we must prepare.

I am enjoying the things we take for granted. Air conditioning, electricity, instant food on demand, water and our supply chain and these tranquil times we live in. I am using the information to grind to make money to put my family in a better position when the Great Crises come in the next 25-30 years. I do not live in fear I just use the info and move accordingly like the elites do. At this point it will be everyone for them selves. Im am going to enjoy the little things we take for granted for as long they are here until the time comes.

Link up with like minded people that you trust if possible. When shyt hits the fan you don't want to be struggling to survive with just your wife and kids. There is strength in number and community.
Also may want to relocate if your out west or the south. I personally think the Great Lakes region will be the best place to move to in the states.
