Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Then the world's fever will work as intended.

No it won't. The problem causers can afford air conditioning.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Until there’s no one below them to keep the air conditioning working.

When an area isn't survivable without air conditioning, any power outage can kill millions.

When an area isn’t survivable without air conditioning, people shouldn’t be living there.

No it won't. Eco-fascist rhetoric like this is unproductive because it ignores the fact that the people who are most shielded from the harms of climate change are the ones most responsible for it.

Billionaires and others who are profiting most from pillaging the planet's resources are not the ones at risk here.

(N.b. I am not calling you an eco-fascist, just that this framing is commonly used by eco-fascists. Part of why I highlight this is because your use of this rhetoric may not be intentional)

It just keeps getting worse, doesn't it?

It's been awhile since I have seen talk about 2°, as if we have given up on that number. Maybe only in the US, where climate change isn't even really discussed in a meaningful way by our two primary presidential candidates.

The official goal is still 1.5, but that's kind of irrelevant, since we've been over 1.5 for an entire year already, and the only reason the official number is still at 1.4 is that the number is averaged over several years and it's technically possible temps will go down next year.

technically possible temps will go down next year.

I sure hope so. But I think it would be bad to plan on luck alone (not that you are advocating for that).
