    I’m mostly convinced that people are going to do absolutely nothing.

    Can we pick up Ann Arbor and move it 1,000km north or so?

      dude South TX is on fucking fire. Heat index of 120f… all time records and still I see people on linked in and wherever arguing about how it’s stupid to try and stop oil usage…

      Maddening. It’s the people way up north that aren’t quite feeling it yet… GUESS WHAT WE ARE MOVING NORTH lol.

      they are going to be real sad when we start migrating north and trying to pass laws to stop us lol.

        Yeah, there’s about to be a lot of people heading north. Free movement between states is going to be fought over in the supreme court, because northern states will try to prevent being overrun. Michigan might try to build a wall across its southern border.

        I don’t have much hope in the future.

          yeah same… Water being one of the most important things states will try to protect. I actually sat in on a Texas water board meeting about our aquifers. Their own models didn’t even take into account climate change, but did have a worst case scenario situation where we lost about 10% of the aquifers every decade if droughts persist. So 100 years on their own government sanctioned modeling water board and still we do nothing.

          OFC they were assuming business as usual in which case we are fine so by denying climate change and doing nothing they’ve literally doomed the state.

      I don’t know what’s going to happen once it starts getting even worse. Either we just accept it or do something but by then it’s too late to prevent more serious consequences.

      With corporations essentially having control over everything, there’s not much we can do short of full on strikes and revolution. Saving the environment is just incapatable with capitalism and corporate greed
