    The thought I keep having every time I consider climate change, we, as a species, are putting massive amounts of carbon back into the atmosphere. Carbon which was trapped deep underground for millions of years. But with how complicated the global weather system is, I’m willing to be that even if we stop all carbon emissions TODAY, it wouldn’t stop the whole system from trending up still for a while. Let’s not mince words, we, as a species, will never all agree to co-operate like that, especially when it would hurt those poor share holders, and their profits.

    My outlook is, I do my part as best as I can, but buckle up, because we’re going to see some shit in the coming years.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if we see the collapse of society in the next 100 years or so. Every empire ends.
