We have people who love bicycles, eventually change to cars. With our climate and distances, the bicycle is absolutely not popular. The average distance to work is about 15 km, the average travel time by public transport is about 1 hour. You can go once or twice a season. The rental of electric scooters is much more popular. But... with the general conflict of the very idea of 30,000 scooters (and a comparable number of cyclists who use a bicycle for trips) for 8 million cars, they do not make the weather.

Heatwaves run in the 90s and higher. This summer wasn’t too too bad but last summer we had a week straight of 100 degrees. That coupled with insane humidity can makes things pretty brutal sometimes, especially for someone from a drier climate. The entire state is heavily wooded. Seriously, like 80% of this state is woodland. It’s fucking awesome. One slightly less wooded area would be in the Champlain valley. Winters are subjective. I never mind the cold because you can always add more layers to stay warm. The snow patterns here have been varying wildly as climate change continues taking effect. Some winters it dumps a ton, some it doesn’t snow much at all, relative to VT. The biggest thing folks struggle with tends to be the darkness. For 4-5 months of the year it is DARK, like pitch black, by 5pm. Seasonal effective disorder is a real thing here that a lot struggle with. It’s so important to have outdoor activities you enjoy in the winter so you can get out of the house and enjoy the little sun we get in the winter. Vermonters are friendly in our own way. We stay out of others business. We’ll often be willing to lend a hand or lend some machinery or some food or whatever - always happy to help our neighbors so long as they’re respectful to others and to the land, etc.

yeah his commercial’s are very cringe. but even aside from his cringeworthiness, this guy should not be anywhere near a public office *at all*. he’s an outspoken christian nationalist since before the trump era (i think budd attended/graduated from a biblical seminary), he denies that human-caused climate change exists, he obviously opposes any sensible gun law reforms, he’s consistently voted against every single bill that would protect lgbtq+ rights (i think he’s said even in recent times that he still opposes marriage equality), he doesn’t want weed decriminalized, and he was/is in league with deranged traitors on january 6th. vote this pig out of office.

Um no. None of these speculation holds water. I concur with the above commentator. You can criticize China on many things but leave out the illogical or unsupported claims. Asia and South Asia climate is dominated by the presence of the Himalayan mountain range and effectively bisect the weather system of the two regions. Pakistan and Chinese provinces that utilized cloud seeding sits on opposite ends of the Himalayan ranges and does not interact. Cloud seeding techniques using silver iodide merely hasten nucleation in the atmosphere to coax earlier precipitation. For such level of precipitation in pakistan to occur, substantially abnormal amount of moisture must already be present in the air to begin with. The silver iodide would also not be able to persist for such a duration to reach somewhere as far away as pakistan and cause such a substantial amount of rainfall. Prevailing winds in China is only local. Once it hits the mountain ranges it will be diverted north and south. Pakistan has been experiencing prolonged period of monsoon that actually predated the Chinese attempt at cloud seeding. Their monsoon weather pattern has been clearly linked to higher than average temperature, especially in the Indian ocean basin, that drives extremely high humidity in the air current heading north over pakistan. Changes in the jet stream path also means the high humidity air stayed above Pakistan longer than expected and delay entry into central asia/Russia where we saw a corresponding dry hoy draught conditions. [mapping prevailing winds on earth ](https://earth.nullschool.net/#2022/09/01/0600Z/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-274.27,36.17,415) Correlation is not causation. Just because the two events are in close proximity does not give credence that one causes the other. They both share a same root cause though. Climate change due to global warming.

I'm quite familiar with the topics of China, Russia, corporations, climate change, arable land (and land use more broadly), and the challenges of producing and distributing food globally. I'd say I have moderate knowledge of chemicals used in agriculture. I'd be happy to discuss this with you, but if you have no interest in discussing nobody is forcing you.

Let me just respond to you directly because everyone else here is being bashful. First you need to understand how much money a billion dollars is. I think that we get used to seeing the word “billion” thrown around all the time and we somehow come to think of it as commonplace. It’s not. It’s an almost incomprehensible number, and an even more incomprehensible amount of money. There are countries whose GDP is LESS than one billion dollars. That means there are people in the world who, as individuals, have more power than entire nation states. Not just small countries either. Elon Musk for example, with his net worth of $255.1B, has more net worth than the entire GDP of Finland. This means that if he were to be a country, he would take the 42nd spot on the list of the worlds GDP. Second you have to understand the concept that at this point in time, it is arguably impossible to become a billionaire without indirectly causing an extraordinary amount of pain and suffering on others. Jeff Bezos’ Amazon for example is one of the world leaders in global climate change. The Walton family’s Wal-Mart brings them riches while it’s company crushes small businesses and horrifically underpays it’s employees. I challenge you to find a billionaire whose wealth was not built on the backs of others. This brings us to the final point. Billionaires are billionaires because they have sat on their Ill gotten gains. They have hoarded their wealth like the dragon Smaug. And across the board they have all consistently taken actions to keep the peasantry away from their treasure. There are certainly philanthropic actions being taken by people like Bill Gates (and soon Bezos) but this is done to “clean the image” to wash away their dirty past and make them look saintly. Don’t fall for it. They aren’t. The sum of a billionaires philanthropy is always less valuable than what was robbed from the world to provide them their wealth. When you combine these 3 pieces together it becomes easier to understand why people call for killing billionaires . Many people promote capital punishment for murderers, but each of the worlds 2700 billionaires is likely to be indirectly responsible for the deaths of many countless times more people than even the most prolific murderer. It’s basic math. Eat the rich.

Aber für Weltuntergangsstimmung haben wir keine Zeit.** > > *Von [Philipp Bovermann](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/autoren/autor-1.3421045)* > > 30\. August 2022 - 6 Min. Lesezeit > > Das Beste und zugleich das Schlechteste, das man über die Aktionen der Protestbewegung „Letzte Generation“ sagen kann, ist, dass sie traurig machen. Die zumeist jungen Klimaaktivisten scheinen nicht mehr daran zu glauben, dass die Staaten die notwendigen Maßnahmen gegen eine katastrophale Erderhitzung ergreifen werden. Im vergangenen Sommer adressierten sie noch mit einem Hungerstreik im Berliner Regierungsviertel die Bundespolitik. Inzwischen ist ihr Gegner diffus geworden. Sie kleben sich an Autobahnauffahrten fest, an Gemälden. Am Wochenende versuchte eine Gruppe der Aktivisten, sich beim Bundesligaspiel des FC Bayern gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach mit Kabelbindern an die Torpfosten zu ketten. Bayern-Stürmer Thomas Müller, schon qua Name der Normalodeutsche schlechthin, rempelte einen der beiden an und brüllte ihm unhörbar etwas entgegen. > > **Herrje, können die sich nicht mal zusammenreißen?** > > Es wäre ein Fehler, die Klimakrise zu psychologisieren – sie ist keine Neurose, die Gefahr ist erdrückend real. Die Psychologie hilft aber, die Sackgasse zu erkennen, in die sich die Klimabewegung derzeit manövriert. > > In den vergangenen Jahren, seit Greta Thunberg ihre Wut und Verzweiflung in die höchsten politischen Gremien der Welt trug, begann eine Diskussion über die psychologischen Aspekte der anrollenden Klimakatastrophe, darüber, wie es sich anfühlt, auf einem angezählten Planeten zu leben. Meist war da von der „Klimaangst“ die Rede. Selten von der Trauer. > > Gegen die Angst empfehlen Psychologen das Prinzip der Hoffnung: Die „kognitive Dissonanz“ zwischen dem persönlichen Handeln und der immensen Bedrohung lasse sich nicht mit der Brechstange schließen, sagen sie, durch immer drastischere Warnungen. Damit die Angst nicht lähmend wird, sei es ebenso wichtig, sich zu vergegenwärtigen, was kollektiv und individuell noch alles möglich ist. > > **Das leuchtet ein: Wer nur Dystopien, aber keine Utopien anzubieten hat, überlässt anderen die Initiative und beschränkt sich aufs Verhindern. Man geht in die innere Sitzblockade** > > Die findet in den allermeisten Fällen aber nicht auf den Gleisen einer Kohletransport-Trasse statt, sondern in einem beheizten Wohnzimmer, auf dem eigenen, dicker werdenden Hintern. > > Der Verzweiflung zu entsagen, mutet skeptisch veranlagten Menschen allerdings auch einiges zu. Auf Tiktok geben sich viele junge Klimaaktivisten inzwischen betont optimistisch, handlungsfähig und „resilient“. Zum Beispiel der junge Mann aus Florida, der sich [dabei filmt](https://www.tiktok.com/@trashcaulin/video/7135814842878840110), wie er jeden Tag an den Strand geht und dort mit ganz viel Spaß Plastik sammelt. Das ist besser, als nichts zu tun, klar. Aber es schwingt darin auch der Verdacht protestantischen Kitsches mit. Luther wird das Zitat zugeschrieben, er würde, wenn er wüsste, dass morgen die Welt unterginge, „heute noch ein Apfelbäumchen pflanzen“. > > **Sollten wir, auch wenn morgen die Welt unterginge, heute noch unseren Müll trennen?** > > Der Treibhauseffekt würde ja sogar dann für lange Zeit weitergehen, wenn schon morgen kein Gramm Kohlendioxid mehr in die Atmosphäre gelangte. Die Katastrophe entfaltet sich bereits. Schrecklicher als die Angst ist nach Jahrzehnten verpasster Chancen womöglich die Gewissheit, was bereits unaufhaltsam verloren ist. Klimaaktivisten können heute nur noch versuchen, das Unausweichliche zu begrenzen. > > Vielleicht ist das, was da lähmt und zynisch werden lässt, daher gar nicht so sehr die Angst vor dem Kommenden, sondern es sind unbewältigte Gefühle: Trauer um die eigene jahrelange Unbeschwertheit, die den Kindern und Enkeln nicht mehr offensteht. Trauer, die sich wie ein Vanitas-Zeichen in die noch intakten Landschaften einschreibt. *All das wird irgendwann nicht mehr sein.* Trauer um die Menschen in anderen Teilen der Welt, die viel stärker unter den sich häufenden Dürren und Naturkatastrophen zu leiden haben. So viele von ihnen werden hungern, fliehen müssen und sterben. Wie soll man sich das als Teil der industrialisierten Verursachergemeinschaft verzeihen, gar optimistisch in die Zukunft blicken, während der eigene Lebensstil diese Probleme beschleunigt? > > **Am diffusesten bei all dem ist die Trauer um die Natur.** > > **Das Verhältnis zu ihr lässt sich deshalb so schwer fassen, weil große Teile der westlichen Geistesgeschichte aus nichts anderem bestehen als dem Bemühen, den Menschen aus ihr abzusondern.** > > Die verdrängte Verbundenheit mir ihr bricht nun, da sie zu verarmen und veröden droht, allenthalben als Wehmut wieder auf. Die Bücher und die Künste sind seit Jahren voll davon. In Bäumen, Pilzen, Moosen oder Kraken, überall erkennt der Mensch sich wieder, wanzt sich an die Natur heran und streicht ihr, wie zum Abschied, über die flauschige Wange. Oder aber er lässt sich auf ihr Gewimmel, ihre Amorphie ein, um auf feierliche Art sprachlos zu werden. „(...) und wo auch nur Pflanzen rauschen, klingt immer eine Klage mit“, schrieb der Kulturphilosoph Walter Benjamin. > > Sich von der Sprachlosigkeit überwältigen zu lassen, durch das Dickicht hindurchzugehen, darin liegt die Chance auf Heilung. Die irreparablen Schäden anzuerkennen, um die Zukunft wieder zu öffnen. > > **Dann, endlich, gibt es Hoffnung.** > > Politisch wäre es dringend geboten, diesen Schritt zu tun. Die Klimabewegung hat sich in den Bildern, die sie produziert, zuletzt immer tiefer in der Verzweiflung vergraben. „Fridays for Future“ nährte sich einen ekstatischen Sommer lang vom Glauben, man müsse den Leuten die Klimakrise nur nachdrücklich genug erklären („Listen to the science!“), dann würden sie schon losrennen und das „brennende Haus“, die Erde, löschen. Diese naive Hoffnung erzeugte einen ungeheuren gesellschaftlichen Schwung, überlebte aber die vielen unsichtbaren Widerstände in der Realpolitik nicht lang. > > Die Gruppe Extinction Rebellion machte kurz darauf auf sich aufmerksam als so etwas wie der dunkelromantische Wiedergänger dieser Träume. Die Aktivisten hielten „Trauermärsche“ ab, schminkten sich die Gesichter totenblass und lasen bei Sitzblockaden traurige Gedichte vor. > > **Auf ein Banner, das sie an der Westminster Bridge in London entrollten, schrieben sie: *"We're fucked".*** > > Die „Letzte Generation“ erzählt nun ebenfalls vom Untergang, dieselbe Geschichte noch mal. Was soll nach ihr noch kommen? Die diesmal wirklich allerletzte Generation? > > Wo bleibt die Gruppe, die den Menschen die frohe Botschaft der ökologischen Befreiung von den Fesseln des fossilen Zeitalters bringt? > > **Wo bleibt die erste Generation einer neuen Welt? Es wäre eine bunte, laute Bewegung von ansteckender Heiterkeit, die sich nicht zu schade wäre, auch einmal taktisch fröhlich zu sein, wenn ihr eigentlich nach Weinen zumute wäre.** > > Die von der Krise direkt Betroffenen können es sich ja auch nicht gestatten, der Verzweiflung nachzugeben. > > Anstatt die Krise in immer noch und noch dunkleren Farben zu malen, den Berg des Unheils, den es zu erklimmen gäbe, immer weiter aufzutürmen, würden diese Aktivisten die planetare Krise vielmehr kleiner und beherrschbarer erscheinen lassen. Sie würden den Menschen sagen, dass es nicht nur, wohin man auch blickt, kapitalistisches Wachstum gibt, das zwangsläufig in den kollektiven Suizid führt, sondern schon heute Wege in eine bessere Zukunft, auf denen sie mitkommen können. Sie würden ihre Erfolge zu feiern wissen. Auch das Gute wächst ja, langsam und mit Rückschlägen, aber stetig. Grüne Technologien werden immer günstiger. Das Versprechen ist einfach zu gut: kostenlose Energie, die buchstäblich vom Himmel fällt. > > Noch vor einem Jahrzehnt ergaben Hochrechnungen, dass der damalige Kurs der Klimapolitik zu einem Temperaturanstieg von vier bis fünf Grad geführt hätte – die Erde würde gebacken wie eine Kartoffel. [Aktuell](https://climateactiontracker.org/global/temperatures/) steuert die Welt auf ein Plus von 2,5 bis 2,9 Grad zu. Die Auswirkungen wären katastrophal, aber doch etliche Höllenkreise weniger schlimm. > > Den Rest zu schaffen und die Erderhitzung auf „deutlich unter zwei Grad“ zu begrenzen, wie im Pariser Klimaabkommen festgehalten, ist keineswegs unrealistisch. Im Oktober 2020 [errechnete](https://www.reuters.com/article/climate-change-stimulus/tenth-of-pandemic-stimulus-spend-could-help-world-reach-climate-goals-study-idUSKBN271098) ein Team von Wissenschaftlern des Imperial College London, dass dafür schon ein Zehntel der zwölf Billionen US-Dollar, die damals als Corona-Rettungspakete versprochen waren, reichen würde. Möglich, dass die Annahmen etwas optimistisch waren. Aber die Rettung der Welt wäre jedenfalls nicht unerschwinglich. > > Dass es nicht passiert, liegt an ökonomischen und politischen Interessen. Der Logik der Macht begegnet man ebenbürtig nicht in der Logik der Verzweiflung, indem man aus gefühlter Ohnmacht, die Mächtigen treffen zu können, wahllos Konsumenten-Fußvolk gegen sich aufbringt und die Gesellschaft in der Klimafrage weiter spaltet. Den Planeten und seine Bewohner zu schützen, ist unterm Strich auch nur ein Interesse, das es strategisch durchzusetzen gilt. Anstatt Verzicht zu predigen und ständig zu betonen, warum das alles sowieso nicht reicht, sollte man den Menschen etwas versprechen – *fake it till you make it*. Die Gegenseite tut ja auch nichts anderes, nur viel ungenierter. > > Vielleicht ist es, so besehen, gar nicht schlecht, beim melancholischen Grübeln zum Geräusch der tickenden *Doomsday Clock* etwas zynisch geworden zu sein. Den Weltuntergang zu verhindern, einfach so als Selbstzweck, zieht nicht? Na, dann bindet man in drei Teufels Namen eben auch noch eine rosa Schleife darum.

Submission Statement, Warming is coming, brace yourselves. *Time* decided to post an article projecting safer havens and areas that may fare better with climate change by a rough estimate of 2100. The better winners appear to be Canada,Russia, Ireland, Scotland, the Great Lakes Region, and really any place north in America. Not to say that all will be effected by climate change. There was a prediction that Greenland may actually become "Green" and have forests everywhere being considered a better place. There's some optimism, despite the whole idea of seff-destructing a planet to make a few rich who continue to rule because they say so. Approximately, 1-3 billion people will be displaced, moving to a safer climate as a mass migration will destablize that area and use up its resources. Despite the optimism, still think its largely a more omnious sequence of events playing out.

It's amazing how much wrong someone can pack into one paragraph. There is a huge amount of uranium available from multiple suppliers, it can also be filtered economically from seawater because it's so energy-dense, and there are other materials which can be used, including thorium. There is effectively zero "scarcity" of uranium and there won't be for many decades, if ever. It is *not* running out. Climate change hasn't shutdown "most" of the reactors in Europe : it's reduced the output of 4-5 reactors in France which are waiting for the rivers to fill up again, and the remaining reactors in France are in maintenance and will be back online by the end of the year. [Here's the graph](https://i.imgur.com/QvnWdgp.png) of their return to service. I've just counted : literally every sentence you uttered was wrong. Extraordinary.

Climate change has been known about for DECADES. For the boomer coastal home owners, they feathered their own nest and have also had plenty of time to pass the buck and move inland. For younger homeowners, they should have known better. At the end of the day, it's probably best that these at risk homes are prevented from being onsold. The best (and a bit macabre) outcome is if the owner dies and the house is left to nature.

Its not science to me. For me, its you that is the Flat-Earther. Nature responds to change. I doubt science can predict this. For example, it may rain more due to warming. The above said and returning to the OP, Buddhism teaches the social world arises from ignorance & craving (SN 12.44); therefore, as the population of ignorant & craving people grow, we should prepare for the worst. In other words, just let it go. To conclude, I correctly advised if you believe in climate change, you should discipline yourself by living a sustainable life. This disciples is a step on the spiritual path to freedom from anxiety. But if you are a hysterical untrained undisciplined young person, addicted to entertainment, addicted to TV, addicted to NetFlix, addicted to your I--Phone and Internet, addicted to wearing make-up, etc, then you really won't have any coping skills when your beloved mass-media & Greta keep telling you there is a climate emergency. The proof is in the pudding buddy. Are you another upper-middle class Climate Warrior on large income, with 4WD, flying around the world on nature holidays, etc,? In Buddhism, we overcome anxiety by practicing the Path, which includes Renunciation of sensual/material indulgences as its second factor. That's it. Bye bye.

I am investing not because I particularly rely on hope (optimism perhaps?) for the future, but because I want to believe in human endeavour. Investing on the market might be one way to push innovation (albeit the most lazy way possible) I think this decade, the main economic stress and hardship will be caused by climate change. We are already experiencing historical events on the scale of Great Depression, WW1, and dare I say WW2 (Covid, War in Ukraine, digital warfare, increasing extremism on almost every social mechanism etc) with an absolutely catastrophic climate setting. The Great Depression might have really been much worse as a singular event, but I don’t think people had much to worry about their existence on the planet.

> I don't want my entire personality and life to revolve around ... It doesn't have to be, but if you're not aware and vocal - your voice will be drowned out by those who are. And few are quite as loud as right wing regressives who want to eliminate women's rights, eliminate religious freedoms, eliminate workers rights and go back to living under religious theocracies. Much as we don't like it our lives do revolve around politics. Media spreads a message that politics are boring adult things that only boring people care about - but they affect everything in your life. Laws around workers rights dictate if your job will grind you up and spit you out for pennies a day or if you get a decent work life balance. Funding affects which laws are enforced. Laws dictate who you can marry, how many kids you can afford, what you eat, what meds you get, climate change, everything. > figuring out which politicians are more evil Sadly it isn't too difficult in a lot of countries. Growing far right presence, media acquisitions and fptp voting has turned a lot of countries into a choice between mega-evil and kinda-evil. Edit: saw the edit: Yeah I think you can try to keep them separate but if you start to discuss class systems in your media and how main characters in these stories rapidly embrace these unjust social systems/hierarchies despite 'knowing better' - you can't not bring up modern day conservatives. They are directly relevant to the topic in that they are people who defend and implement these unjust systems today - and long for returns to older more unjust systems.

What are the biggest things Democrats cried wolf about? Give me an example man, come on lol. Uh trump is still the head of the republican party so he’s extremely relevant to talk which. He also stole top secret documents and is demanding a redo on the election he lost. Republicans have been all about Hillary for years and years. They were still chanting to lock her up (actual fascists political perfection that they are not projecting onto democrats) all throughout trump’s term. Democrats don’t hold a candle to republicans obsessing over a person and then doing whatever they could to smear and sabotage that person. Fight for Americans like trying to battle Covid with a functioning brain, wanting to pass infrastructure bills, cap insulin prices, regulate pollution, invest into the future of energy, or even admit that climate change is real? But again, what was the biggest thing democrats cried wolf about? Let’s focus on that part.

Full Text: Texas has an updated $85 billion decade-long plan to widen and maintain its highways, but the same concerns over freeways forcing more cars into crowded metro areas remain, as advocates on both sides argued Tuesday in Austin. The Texas Transportation Commission, after listening to some 80 speakers, approved — without comment — its 10-year Unified Transportation Plan, plotting funding for some of the state’s largest projects, including the $9.7 billion-plus widening of Interstate 45 from downtown Houston north to Beltway 8. Citing months of staff work developing the plan, commission Chairman Bruce Bugg called it a “remarkable day.” UNEASY WATERS: Battleship Texas dodged German shells, but a treacherous move this week risks sinking it Some opponents were shocked by the quick approval after dozens of people spoke for and against highway expansion. “Before the last speaker in opposition had even reached their seat, the three present commissioners voted unanimously to approve the 2023 UTP as-is,” officials with Stop TxDOT I-45, an advocacy group opposed to the I-45 widening project, said in a social media post. The plan outlines what TxDOT prepares to build in the next decade. Updated annually, it guides which projects are priorities and how much the agency plans to spend on various maintenance, aviation, freeway and bridge projects. The $85 billion planned by the state, when local funds are considered, represents a $117 billion list of projects, that while not guaranteed to happen — officials still must agree to spend the money as construction nears and projects can be delayed or canceled — are the bulk of where Texas drivers will see orange barrels. Motorists will see many of them sooner rather than later, with TxDOT approving a record $1.48 billion in projects as part of this month’s construction awards. That beat last month, which totaled $1.35 billion. For fiscal 2022, which ends Sept. 30, the total spending is a record $10.63 billion, $1.4 billion more than the previous record set in 2019. ”We have just knocked the cover off the ball,” Bugg said of the last five years of highway spending. CROSSING THE DIVIDE: White Oak Trail is brimming with riders. Two new bridges could give them somewhere to go, advocates argue. The vast majority of spending in the 10-year plan, more than 96 percent, goes toward highways, something that increasingly has drawn alarm from critics in the major metro areas and those seeking more investment in combating climate change. “Continuing to chase congestion will only exacerbate the climate crisis,” said Harrison Humphreys, climate program manager for Air Alliance Houston. Opponents of the I-45 project on Tuesday traveled by bus to Austin for a protest outside TxDOT headquarters and unfurled a long banner saying “Do Not Pave Over Us,” in the meeting room. “More lanes will not increase safety on our roadways,” said Zach Hamburg, a member of the Stop TxDOT I-45 group. “More lanes will not improve air quality. More lanes will not right racist policies of the past or create vibrant neighborhoods that attract people to our cities.” The planned rebuild of Interstate 45 in Houston drew the largest number of comments, 382 of the 1,685 TxDOT received through a month-long public comment period. Of those, TxDOT said 299 were supportive of the project while 66 were opposed. Fifteen advocated support with design changes and two comments were neither positive or negative. FARM TO MARKETING HOMES: Plan to widen FM 1488 a sign of development to come in Waller County Critics of the opposition say it is vocal but does not speak for many of the people in Third Ward, Fifth Ward, Near Northside and other affected communities. Algenita Scott Davis, government affairs manager for Central Houston, which represents the downtown business district, said TxDOT has worked with communities to address concerns, to historic lengths. Drainage will be improved, not worsened, by the project, Davis said. “What is going on now is not what TxDOT has done in the past,” Davis said, noting the harm freeways previously caused in some downtown Houston neighborhoods. “It is inclusive... It is responding to what is going on. Keep funding, keep responding and keep listening the ways you have been doing.” Despite the back and forth from project opponents and supporters, some remain hopeful changes can be made to bridge some of that divide. That requires TxDOT to do even more work to address concerns, some said. “The choice we want is to work together,” said Susan Graham, an organizer of Stop TxDOT I-45, reading from a letter submitted by Houston District H Council Member Karla Cisneros.

Extremists will always be with us. They have always been with us. In times of hardship they thrive. Not at all a recent development. Our pandemic response was far from perfect, but we took it seriously enough to lock down whole countries while we got vaccines out the door. We could slow the spread, but there's no world out there where we could have stopped it. 100 years ago the Spanish Flu hit us and we pretty much let it run its course - so we've at least improved on that front. Yes, climate change is a concern, but the explosion in renewable energy development over the past 20 years gives me some hope. Could we do better? Absolutely. There are definite challenges for us ahead, but we're a long way from failing as a society.

Antinatalism - Explosive population growth in the last century. Humanity in ever-burgeoning numbers are destroying the globe's ecosystems and the trajectory of human-induced climate change is ultimate annihilation. However, it seems to be morally corrupt to even raise a question about what unrestricted procreation is doing to our planet. Antinatalism as a philosophy is off the table, a non-starter. But what would our world be like now if the population were 1.6B as it was in 1900, instead of almost 8B as it is now?

A more accurate forecast would be "globally, most years are warmer", and every word is significant. "Globally" because it's a global trend, and any given area may be warmer or colder depending on lots of complex factors. On balance, the global average will likely be warmer though. "Most" because it's a trend, not an absolute. There could be years where the global average temperature drops slightly due to factors like volcanos, smoke from forest fires, etc. that counteract the greenhouse effect temporarily. "Years" because, similarly to "globally" we're talking about the global average temperature over long periods of time. Harsh winters in some could even be an effect of climate change (see polar vortexes where higher temperatures near the poles shifts cold air farther south). So even in an area that sees an increased average temperature, there could be extremes in both directions. Climate change happens over years and decades, not seasons. "Are": it's happening. "Warmer" because after taking into account the extremes in both directions and averaging over the entire planet over long periods of time, the temperature will increase year after year until we stop it. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes the earth to hold more energy than it reflects back into space. That energy can be moved around (see polar vortexes), but it's not leaving and energy always turns turns into heat, which means increased average temperatures.

>I've heard suggestions that nuclear winter would be a way to shut down global warming. The problem is, CO2 lasts for at least 1200 years, not to mention all the other gasses, and the burning of hundreds of urban targets and billions of bodies will only add more gasses into the atmosphere. The thing about nuclear or volcanic winters that causes the cooling effect is the soot or ash particulates, and these drop back down to the ground pretty quickly, say within 10 years. So the actual effect of nuclear winter will be a massive and sharp increase in emissions with a very short term hiatus and then the newly added emissions will send climate change in overdrive!

NIMBY’ism gets blamed left and right but it’s only really an issue in large, geographically limited cities. In smaller markets or cities that can build out, people complaining about “NIMBY-ism” are just annoying environmentalists who are getting manipulated by the “you’ll own nothing and be happy” fucks. Their preferred solution is to park everyone in little grey condo’s that will look, feel, and bank a whole lot like apartments. Then the same rich fucks that bankrolled all of the propaganda get to own everything and they can blame the massive degradation in people’s lives on climate change. We don’t want to be back into little boxes so we can more easily ride human feces-filled metal tunes to work every day. We want houses with yards and separation from our neighbors so that their shit doesn’t spill out into our lives. Of course there are places like NYC and San Fran that are geographically limited and actually should tell the NIMBY’s to STFU and build up.

That's true, but it is a very narrow focus: nobody - no politician in any land - can be elected for saying they will shut down the system that exists and stop maintaining roads and producing electricity, nobody will be elected promising to disrupt commerce and flatline The Economy (or other necessary measures of "degrowth") so that Nature can thrive. It's not just the fossil fuels industry, it's not merely climate change, it's not solely capitalism: it's the *technological* ability to concentrate power and to easily and rapidly cause widespread destruction. (Often enough, technology enables us to make simple "*changes*" which may not for a long while be seen or recognized as severely detrimental.) And *nobody* can get elected and then use acquired state power to regress technology and necessarily localize human society into small-scale groupings. Such a radical 180° turn will have to be *imposed* upon the society from outside of the established system, e.g., hackers shutdown refineries and power plants and scramble int'l shipping and reroute domestic trucking, or a CME solar flare fries all the electronics, or maybe some flood or heatwave or fires do similar-level disruptions of normalcy, or a foreign power wages cyber or physical war, or some radical environmentalists seize or an indigenous group rises up against the mining or smelting company, and so forth.

You mean the governments who are letting corporations pay less taxes and pollute more by accepting sham carbon-offset schemes and have massively and actively contributed to the current fertility, economic and environmental situation we're in ? You're trusting those corporate funded corrupt politicians to pay for your pensions AND also purge corruption ? The governments that have been using *your* tax money to bailout airlines, banks and subsidize fossil fuels and billionaire companies, who have had record profits while we're all going down the drain? The governments who have been actively suppressing journalists and whistleblowers through underhanded tactics to prevent people from knowing just how badly corrupted they are ? The governments that call gas a green resource and made us depend on Russia and middle eastern theocratic and human rights abusing autocracies ? I think that's even more gullible. Well then, good luck with that trusting the governments thing. I'm sure they won't disappoint at all, specially given the track record. I'm sure governments will solve everything even better now, considering the stakes are about to get even worse given the climate and society changes about to happen. That clearly is a much more realistic advice. I wish i could share your optimism that anything will change in this system and that we can rely on anything else other than ourselves.

I always love seeing folks' passion projects like this! And this one is certainly in a league all its own when it comes to effort and detail. There are some routings I wouldn't necessarily have chosen, though I see why they were, and some I would add, but overall it's a solid pitch. I haven't read through the report yet, so no idea on great/good/bad/ugly there, but a quick scroll through looks very well done (as is to be expected from a professional). One thing I'll say that I don't like, and this is mostly angled at some of the comments on the Urbanize page, is that I always *hate* pitching this kind of proposal for wider regional rail *against* other modes of transit. In this case heavy and light rail. There's more than enough pent up demand for transit-oriented (and walkable and bikeable and dense and etc.) development, and necessity to meet the challenge of climate change, to justify a wide, combined network, something that the paper seems to recognize with infill stations, (modest) service expansions for existing heavy rail, and the integration of light rail / streetcar. I've always preferred a more expansive vision (See: https://www.getonboardgeorgia.org/vision), but I don't disparage someone from keeping their efforts focused. What I do disparage are people who say 'do THIS instead of THIS OTHER THING!'. Please. Just stop.

You're welcome. I think this is primarily an intensification of the deaths of despair trend. If COVID had not happened it would not be as stark, but COVID basically dialed up all the nobs. I think any 'return' as we get further from 2020 might a slight slowing in the decline, but I really doubt we are going back to even flat LE. The second questions are more complicated. I think this is a consequences of capitalism, but I don't know if the effects represent its decline in the sense that the system can just treat all of this like an externality. That is true for climate change too, but eventually, one suspects, it will catch up with it. But how long that will take is the problem. That graph is fascinating.

So I'm answering this from my own perspective, and I don't have a single female friend. The closest would be a classmate or coworker and I'd never have any reason to be at their house, so that's where I'm coming from off rip. I'm also taking into account that OP has already made it clear that they're uncomfortable with that type of arrangement. OP also worded it as "at a girl's house." That leads me to assume that it's a single woman. With those things in mind, I'd make other arrangements. If it's a couple with kids, that would change things but that's not how I interpreted the post. To your second point, I was not insinuating that the partner would have no self control and cheat, but that if the other person tried something, that it could lead to other issues. Especially as a man, if she made advances towards you and you didn't reciprocate, who knows if that girl may get upset and make up a story about you approaching her inappropriately. She could say any number of things. With the current social climate and the Duluth model imposed in many states, one false allegation is all it takes. It's just seems like a bad spot to put yourself in. I was never saying that people can't control themselves from cheating.

Here’s a few key point: 1. The biggest flaw is that your model for “responsible armed citizen” is completely subjective. For example, I’d immediately exclude anyone who has unsecured firearms in the home- that’s gun safety 101. 2. There’s a difference between people who have a rational fear of guns, and phobias. Americans have by far the highest rates of school shootings in the world, but yet people cite statistics to assuage fears: essentially it’s not likely to happen to your school. The thing is, I worked as an educator- we have mandatory shooter drills. If this was a small enough thing to ignore, we wouldn’t need the drills. 3. What are people taking action agains? Will it be government, because that will just be a civil war. Will it be external? No, we have nuclear weapons. The real crisis scenarios are climate change economic collapse, and natural disasters. Ground-based combat in the United States will only be civil. I don’t want these militia guys taking point of a crisis. They immediately become the biggest threat to other civilians. 4. Guns do not give you earned authority; it just gives you forced authority. If the only reason your in charge is a gun, then you are no leader.

We live in a country where businesses and oligarchs have more power and influence over policy than the people or politicians do. The government is restricted from what they are able to do to businesses. They're in control. Nothing about that is "moderate". Compare our capitalism to any other country, and you'll see that our capitalism is far more broken than any other country. I'd love to hear your explanation why record inflation is happening at the exact same time that companies are posting the highest profits they've had in many decades

I agree, it probably is. I saw a movie a while ago, I believe from the 70's or maybe even older and it was about AI and it did take control over everything, did turn sentient. I think most movies are predictive programming. Then we have the recent story about the Google engineer claiming AI was becoming sentient. Edit: Demon Seed was the movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075931 A scientist creates Proteus--an organic super computer with artificial intelligence which becomes obsessed with human beings, and in particular the creators wife. And West World is kinda the same thing where no one knows who's AI or real anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if everything is being run by AI now - how long to keep the pandemic stuff going, introduce climate change stuff, energy crisis, famine, etc. Leaders even seem fake to me.

To get a mortgage you have to buy insurance so any damages to your home would be covered anyway. As long as you don't buy on a coast line, flood plane or in a bush fire prone area (and you do you're due diligence to make sure you're buying quality) climate change isn't something that you need to worry about when buying a home. I mean maybe in 50 years when everything is on fire, but not RN

Actually no, because it's just a stupid commemorative coin illustrating their effort in reducing the population to sustainable proportions, because climate change and moreover simply wanting to live like a tyrant with a downsized slave population. That coin is just stupid selfrighteous vanity. It's actually depressing how they didn't throw in some satanic paedophile symbolism, those fuckin' lame ass wankers. These coins really aren't much promoted commercially as with the rest of the set, indicating they actually realize it's a bit iffy.

I'm not particularly concerned about government employees actively grooming children to convince them to mutilate themselves, no. A partial list of things I'm more concerned about would be: military/ geo-political stances and alliances throughout the world || climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, economic instability as a result of budget deficits, inflation and an aging populace in large developed countries || internet enabling businesses and information brokers to consolidate into fewer larger entities that collude to censor and monopolize || government repression of minority rights, from religious rights through LGBT rights and gun rights || meteors striking the world || apocalyptic volcanic events || whatever the hell Elon Musk is doing with his various enterprises || the affect of constant internet access on the human psyche and culture. My lack of concern regarding perceived government encouragement of transexuality is because: I don't think awareness is the same as encouragement, || I see the problem of "over-transexualizing" to be mostly a cultural fad that will inevitably evolve and ultimately pass regardless of what official policy attempts, || I don't think it's as ubiquitous an issue as people claim (although I recognize I wouldn't and couldn't know that, and it's mostly based on my general lack of respect for the sources pushing the narrative), || the repercussions on a national scale seem to be very small in the absolute worst case, || it's a brand new issue that seems a natural over-correction from the undeniably immense and atrocious history of LGBT oppression, so it's interesting to observe, and || the actual issue seems to exist on a personal, local level where it's only my place to have a problem with it if I'm directly involved. If somebody *wants* to try to convince their kids that they're trans, then they have a right to do that (to a point... Cultures have tried to de-gay their gay children forever, and it's not a good thing but it has to get pretty bad before I'm going to fight it). Even if a state somewhere decides to indoctrinate children, then I'm still not moved to the point where I'll volunteer to use violence stop it. I'd volunteer to use violence to stop what I perceive as "severe abuse". I haven't seen anything that rises to my personal threshold where it strikes me as severely abusive. In general I'd rather schools be operated on very local levels. A lot of societies fuck up children, always have and always will. My kid's school is operating just fine as far as I'm concerned, and as far as child-rearing goes that's about as far as my weight reaches.

Ethiopia’s Corbetti geothermal plant have plans for 1000MWe. 100 trillion in stranded assets if we get off fossil fuel and address climate change. Infinite growth paradigm, finite resource replenishment. No regard for biosphere inhabitability, soley infinite cyclical consumption and accruement of capital/profit. More debt in existence than actual currency.

Well, in the context of the story that scene is definitely a commentary on the role of women in medieval societies and their lack of autonomy, choice and subjugation by the patriarchy. Since Martin’s work often time contains allegories to modern issues like climate change, it wouldn’t be far fetched to connect this scene of a woman’s reproductive choices being violently taken from her to the modern issues of abortion and feminism.

Even if you were right with this asinine, boot-licking statement, that's not what anyone is suggesting—what should happen is that money goes to critical social services, infrastructure, health care, and subsidies to promote and push green initiatives. Instead it's hoarded by the draconic 1%. It doesn't develop more value, it just sits there while the rest of us die from preventable illnesses, climate change, and infrastructure failure.

Not having kids is not a solution in any ecologists plan to tackle world hunger or climate change. It's global policies and investment in renewable energy sources as well as environmental stewardship education. You know what those need to work? Future generations.
