Vast amounts of Canadian forest burned, extraordinary and prolonged heatwaves in the Southwest, seawater 5-7 deg warmer than it should be, Vermont underwater, highest global temperature average In 100,000 years, and it’s all happening at once. For five decades climate scientists have been saying “We can’t tell you exactly what will happen if we don’t curb greenhouse gases but we know extreme weather events of all kinds will be more intense, frequent and prolonged.” https://apple.news/AYBOI7exTQPqTB38YeU8EhQ

@shacker We're at 30X normal forest fires here in BC so far this year. THIRTY TIMES.

@shacker I'm surrounded by tinder-dry forests. It's all I'm thinking about right now.

@shacker I've given up arguing with people over on Twitter about this.All they do is cherry pick small data sets to prove their denial right.Even if the Western world does manage to get a handle on this, the East most likely won't.I've come to the conclusion that we won't fix this. There is going to be famine, droughts, mass migration and war, most likely in the next 20 years. The best thing you can do now is to start preparing for this.

@andymccall That's a sober take. We can't let the cherry-picking denialists stop or curtail the effort. We need to do what the earth needs us to do.

@shacker I think within 150 years we'll start to hear the following from right wing eco-fascists:"The planet can't support all of us, we need to take a serious look at who we let survive."...and running up to that point people will be watching the floods, fires and food shortages on social media, until it's someone recording them.

@andymccall I imagine they'll have just started shooting, or set of WWIII, long before they get around to "taking a serious look at who they let live.”
