It’d sure be nice if a country (like the US, for example) would step up and lead the way, though. One country outputting nearly half of global emissions is pretty insane when you think about it. Somebody has to set an example and take the lead. The US would be a fantastic country to take on that mantle.

But… we all know they won’t - likely even with a president who isn’t a senile whackjob with dementia. Instead, we see things like the US pulling out of the Paris accord. We’re witnessing an active disinterest in solving this issue.

Sure, I bet we can keep it from getting worse. I’ll be here waiting patiently for some billionaire corpo to decide to do something for the environment over profits while we keep using our paper straws. I might nod off so wake me up when it happens.

What actions are being taken though - by the people who can actually make a difference? Governments are reversing to mining coal. Trump is illegally drilling Greenland for oil. Like, what actions are actually being taken for our great grandchildren?

Many scientists say it’s too late. That’s my point.

We’re talking about human-accelerated climate change here. We’re not talking about naturally-occurring events.

I hate to burst anybody’s bubble but we’ve seen these exact headlines for decades. It’s become increasingly clear that those who can make a real difference with climate change are not interested in doing so.

We’re already irreversibly fucked as a planet.

Watch the White House basically lie in ruin for the next (sane) president to have to clean up. America, y’all gotta figure your shit out down there.

Yes. In fact, it’s incredibly upsetting that you’ve brought these memories up.

Trick question, he’s in the Trojan Horse.

I also have a two-for-one deal.

Well, I think if I’m shaving your balls, payment should be 50% up-front and 50% upon completion. I have a no-nick guarantee.

You could pay me to do it. I’d do it for free, as well, but payment would be appreciated.

Good. My wife and I both had our 13-year-old accounts permanently banned with no appeals process - all because we share an IP address and they decided without evidence that we were evading bans.

Fucking morons over there running reddit.
