New Climate Maps Show a Transformed United States

34. Sadly I agree...

There is no off-ramp left. This car is going to hit the wall. The only thing left to do is reduce the speed enough to avoid killing everyone in it...and right now, the lunatics behind the wheel are hitting the gas and not the brakes.

COVID-19 exposed everything in our society. The injustice, the inequality, the broken systems and governance...all of it laid bare. Climate scientists have been saying it for DECADES. The reports and figures have been soft-pedaled and denied for the same length of time.

Who lost? Everyone. Even the jackasses that made tons of money and falsely feel that accumulated wealth will have any value in a society that splits at the seams and against populations driven by one thing and one thing only - surviving another season.

I do not want any part of a post-civilization world. I won't even try to survive it because without modern society and the benefits of civilization, I have no interest in living. I know many WILL, and I wish them luck - among them will be my own offspring and progeny; but I can't lie, I think their prospects are bleak and that humanity will be reduced to stone age hunter-gathers by this time next century.

All that was built, all that was achieved, all that COULD have been done differently to preserve and prosper instead of to horde and accumulate material...its so tragic, and if you really stop to think about it for any length of time, so depressing.

It did not have to be this way, but it is.
