    People will be fleeing famine, uninhabitable areas, rising sea levels and wars. The areas that can support life will grow smaller, more valuable and crowded.

      What worries me is that combined with anti immigrants sentiment. I fear beaches of dead as people are prevented from fleeing. I read a SciFi with that and it chilled me as I can see it happening.

        Prevented from arriving is how anti immigration works, not leaving. Jesus. Think. If you can.

      Will we be assholes if when this happens we be like. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN, but y’all more concerned with arguing over pronouns and protests (I support both).

        hear hear! please stop fighting over the petty things and get to work on the things that matter. electing a president that will fight climate change is far more important than what happens in the middle east.

        I mean the ones that think that trans people shouldn’t have human rights also tend to be the ones who don’t believe in climate change so…

        I get your frustration. I feel it myself. Still, I fear, calling people assholes won’t be helpful and prevent folks from admitting they did wrong. At the same time, it can always get worse (hotter) and I think it would be best to win as many people over as possible, to do the right thing.

        I don’t know. We’re fucked anyway, I guess.

            mocking is pointless. most conservatives don’t care if you mock them. neutralizing their threat to democracy is the answer.
