I hope my kids get a full, long life before the water wars begin. I do my part where I can, but I’ll never have the footprint that some big billion dollar corporation can affect. The oligarchy and their absolute zero interest in preventing a climate disaster has fucked us all.
The billionaires are busy putting up ads and paying for articles that say it’s the fault of the person who can barely afford to live.
My wife and I dont have kids. At this point I’m hoping she and I are able to live a long and full life. Only so much we can do as far as adapting to what may happen when we already have debts and are stuck renting.
“Researchers recently discovered that the most intense heat wave ever recorded happened last March.
And it was in the coldest region on Earth.
Eastern Antarctica saw a spike of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit above average that month, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters. The region was at 5 degrees Fahrenheit at the peak of the heat wave when it should’ve been near -65.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the study says.”

That’s -20°C at the peak of the heat wave when it should have been -55°C, for my metric brethren.
Thank you!
The scariest part to me about the Antarctica heating - and heat spikes throughout the southern hemisphere - is: it was fucking winter down there. That’s when the sheets are supposed to grow. I think the northern hemisphere saw the prelude, a horrible preview of what we’re going to see all over the southern hemisphere in the next six months, and it’s going to be terrifying. And then it will be our turn again.
