This is the first time. He lost twice before
At this rate, we might not even make it to the water wars.
Does anyone care about the climate at this point?
Stein, West, and a handful of other candidates did, yes
Feels like I’m the only one to be honest.
No, there’s dozens of us. Dozens!
I counted 8, i think you’re rigging the polls/s
No, no, that’s lemmy users. /s
I care, but… I’m pretty exhausted at this point.
When I can afford it in the next few years, I plan on doing solar on the house. I drive as infrequently as possible and prefer my motorbike over my car (though my car is also only 660cc engine). I grow some of my own food and plan to steadily increase that as I learn and get better at farming. I try to buy local and regional where possible. I’ve stopped buying beef at home and it is now a special occasion food a handful of times a year.
I’m just one dude and ultimately make little difference, but I do care.
With Trump in office who hates solar and wind power good luck wirh that. Were done not happening. We going have hard time eating in next few months.
Good luck getting cheap solar panels.
We are keeping our carbon cap and trade system here in Washington at least. We will be helping world CO2 emissions go down 0.3% (~100 million tons out of the 35 billion tons).
Most Americans deny climate change, so
It’s just a once in a lifetime flood, bro! Sure, it’s the third one this year, but c’mon! It’s just normal seasonal cycles!
/s
Trump likes winning. He’s team Hurricane.
The hurricanes have become so frequent that they’re hardly even talked about any more. I’m like “guys it’s fucking November…”.
Floodings are the new school shootings
What the fuck happened to the education system
Capitalism.
It was deliberately hampered to produce poorly educated people who are easier to swindle.
The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That’s why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.
It was getting in the way of people voting for the most populist person so they got rid of it. It’s now replaced with a combination of pavlovian reward system + “stay in line” reminders, so that voters can go for the simplest campaign promise (eg: make america great again), without struggling to understand if the ‘how’ can actually accomplish the ‘what’.
So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won’t have a global climate crisis before 2061?
I need someone to convince me, please.
Why wait this long?
many places will be uncomfortable if not intolerable by 2050—around the lifespan of most mortgages—we need to start planning where we make our homes now https://time.com/6209432/climate-change-where-we-will-live/
Want it sooner? Catastrophic climate ‘doom loops’ could start in just 15 years, new study warns
State of affairs: Global climate disaster inevitable if emissions aren’t drastically reduced by 2035, U.N. warns
In 2061, I can see Halley’s Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It’s the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don’t have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.
I’ve accepted for a while now that “this is it”. Despite all our meming about our retirement being dying in the coming water wars… reality won’t be that far off.
As someone who always struggled to find reasons to live, I sure as hell can’t see any now. This world is a literal hell unless you’re rich. In that case it’s your little playground and we the npc’s who populate it.
I think I’d much rather save myself the trouble and suffering.
Don’t leave us you bastard. We are gonna see this through to the end.
I plan to outlive every single one of these assholes that are going to get us all killed
Won’t anybody rid us of this meddlesome president?
Do you prefer Vance?
His supporters all won’t, so yes.
I’m not convinced he’s clever enough to control the inevitable infighting that would spring up after Trump.
Thiel is. This is round two for Trump and his handlers have a better plan for dealing with him. Hell, they’ve probably already agreed on what to do when he dies in office. He’s way too old and in poor health for them not to have that plan already planned out.
Trump plans on addressing climate concerns. He’s already going to put RFK Jr in charge of health and he’s going to ban vaccines. Reducing the population will help lower emissions.
I mean he’s more likely to privatize the system more, Pfizer, Moderna , and etc all have big money and deep pockets.
At the end of the day money is the important part for these people
This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn’t help much if we burn even more.
