Wealthy people doing a corruption? No way!?!

Boo, hiss.

Really cool idea. I am thr type that likes a confortable rut, and I need more listening practice.

Played the shit out of this in High School.

Very cool! I wish it showed London.

Rest in Piss.

I have heard this too, with the added (and unverified) statement that kbin.social is behind Cloudflare right now, which is breaking federation.

The really boring dystopia of unsustainable production. We've been producing a culture tied to unsustainable labour practices, fossil fuels and materials. We're racing down the road toward a dead end and calling it progress.

Unsustainable means "cannot be sustained", rather than the more commonly accepted "not hippy-dippy green enough".

Cheap technology, plastic everything, big box stores full of food and products from overseas, etc. These will all go away, because they cannot be sustained.

With luck, it can be a slow wasting away of the things we've taken for granted. We may have time to pick and choose which technologies to save that could help maintain a similar quality of life (plastics for healthcare, permacomputing, renewable energy infra, advanced agricultural techniques).

Without luck... we could lose a sizable percentage of the population is a very short period of time.

This is inseperable from political collapse, though. It's hard to imagine our societies losing a hundred years of "progress" without a ton of people embracing authoritarian and reactionary politics, civil war, genocide, etc.

Land back!

There's also the error bars.

Scientists will determine that the temperature will rise by between 1°C and 6°C. That's a big range. Climate change is complicated and it's impossible to account for all of the variables.

To the scientist (and their colleagues) they'll know that 3°C is most likely, and this type of paper reads like a dire warning... but when the news breaks, it goes. One of two ways:

1. "1-6°C is a huge range, scientists must not know what's going on. What does this even mean?"

2. "Scientists report that temperature will rise by at least 1°C, the UN Council on Blah Blah says that we should keep under 1.5°C..."

It's maddening, really. Most of the scientists I know are doomers.

Yeah, not sure were going pull out of this dive...
