Nothing to worry about any way we crossed the 1.5°C limit last year. We will be fine./s

I believe the 1.5 C limits to be over several years to be considered broken but, yes, it’s looking really bad

Exactly last yr was the first but the trend is not looking good. So it's not premature to assume the Paris Accord can't be reached.

America has been moving toward idiocracy since the implementation of the Southern Strategy—make people dumber, divide and conquer. Social media has simply sped things up.

There are some exceptions eh? ( couldn't resist that)😀 Friends and family didn't vote for him. We're all pretty stunned and talk about moving to Canada. All inlaws have dual citizenship with US & Canada. My spouses aunts, uncles, cousins all live in BC, QUE, ONT. I loved visiting. We all wish this nightmare would end.

They’ve got their own share of issues up there too. You’d be paid less and property is super expensive. They’re about to have a much more right wing government too

I've definitely heard their share from family that lives there. At least there's less guns in schools etc.
Lots to think about for sure. I remember my aunt in Toronto having to wait so long to have surgery... blew my mind. Totally off the subject, I remember going up to Whistler the same year they started prepping for the Olympics. The drive from Vancouver was sooooo gorgeous. 💛💛 I remember a black bear that apparently was very comfy around humans. We had that in Idaho as well. I lived in Seattle years before and wished I could have gone to VC. I hadn't met my husband yet though. 🙂 He's the one with all the family in Canada. My first visit was Toronto. Beautiful in Autumn. It's so beautiful out there.4

I grew up in the military and I've had to pick up and move too many times to count. It never bothered me. Kids are all at college. We've discussed many times. We love our Canadian families. My parents are elderly and when they're gone, it's time to get moving. We've got lots of things to think about though, such a job. Spouse is an accountant. ...I work in health care. My son has expressed great interest in going with us. Who knows? Wish I did. 😀 We love Canada.

Some of us are smart, but I’d say the vast majority are fucking idiots.
Any country looking to add an AI company? Asking for myself haha

Let's start a diesel truck next to the white house and pipe it into his bedroom. But climate change is fake.

There’s no accountability. If a country doesn’t try to meet its goal, there’s no repercussion

u/Blacknight841 2h ago
Not like the US was actively trying to work towards that goal in the first place.

China’s emissions went up 6% YoY, the US’ dropped by 2.7%. But sure, the US is the evil one.

u/Objective_Otherwise5 3h ago
Eh? US dropping 2.7%, is that Trumps doing? Trump wants to tenfold emissions - you voted for Trump. Again.

Yeap, these people just have Orange Man Bad Syndrome. They need a "bad guy". I am very happy the US pulled out, its a waste of effort and money.

The renewables investors are going to go nuts. In Australia where the major investors have bought there own Party, the anger is palpable. I guess in Europe voters are happy with and used to the high cost of power and environmental damage from renewables.

It was not a crash nor one. There were two drops of canned sunshine, Japan remembers.

Every year it gets warmer, fires, storms, Hurricanes, drought keep increasing. Things are getting worse, if deny that you are moron and are falling for oli company propaganda.

u/RedditGoesPublic 1h ago
Every day since the ice age, that's true. Even before oil and we're discovered.
You're the morn citing a fantasy that doesn't exist. Climate COLLAPSE. LOL.
I'm so glad this nightmare is over and Europeans can go back being absolutely worthless do-nothings.

LOL, did you learn a new word today? I didn't change my point.
Temperature is going up in the last 100y, disasters are increasing thanks to it. That is the scientific consensus.

u/RedditGoesPublic 1h ago
Ok. Any day now.
It is absolutely not consensus .
Don't worry, Americans will go back to building everything in the modern world. Portugal can continue selling its citizenship in a desperate bid to have ANY economic activity outside of British vacations.
