    Climate change threatens all human life on the planet and nothing is being done to prevent it

    “Oh no, the economy!”

    I wish I could access the paper to complain about specific points and numbers. The fossil fuel industry is pulling in $1.5-4T profit annually.

    Money isn’t real profit is theft and they’re killing our home

      It’s disgusting how we need to talk about money in order to get westerners to understand anything.

      Something something when world dead they will realize no eat money.

        I hate capitalists’ inability to think long-term. You know what your profits are going to be when climate change wipes out every city on a coastline? When everything between Mississippi and Nevada is turned into a desert rivaling Death Valley? When there’s no fresh water and the lakes have dried up?

        $0. Your profits will be zero and they will never recover. Whatever industry you’re in, it’s obsolete because the new economy is based on surviving in 125°F temperatures. Even food we grow now dissappears as none of it was cultivated for this environment.

        Baffling they cling to a system that doesn’t allow them to avoid this because lines must go up each quarter.

        Climate change is like if you get a 10% off coupon for all future burgers, but all those future burgers are way too overcooked and dry to enjoy.
