It's the goal of the elite.I can't say for certain how bad things will get, but I do know that those with the most resources will stand the best chance of weathering whatever comes, and those with nothing will be the first to die.

In any case, rich or poor, I will not want to live in the world of tomorrow as it is currently imagined.Might be all true for known conditions now and in the past. Not anymore for our 'endgame' as I envision it. Then all these notions will be moot and those who are the first to die will be the lucky ones. But fear you not, we're "just" talking about the fate of our descendants. I talk to you as an atheist, not in a fanatic, religious visionary way like this angry squaller. But that's how I feel about it, the future of humankind, just the emotional part. If we don't get our crap together. It won't be the government, it won't be God, it won't be an atom bomb. It will be much, much worse, and we all are doing it. Right now.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to be self sustainable, you don’t need to be rich to do that, it’s also a good idea to be armed
Rant mode on:
I think that the OP's opening question is flawed.
"Prove your belief here" in itself is textbook living-death oxymoron.
The funny part of this is that you yourself posted an article on conspicuous energy consumption from computers, gaming in particular but I'd say endlessly nattering on the Internet counts, too. Not that I needed the article or your admission, I pointed out the energy waste associated with gaming and forum noodling weeks ago and all the hypocrites could say (as you are now) was "Hur hur hur!" I guess the message is your energy consumption is fine, regardless of how much you use or what it's used for. I sure wish that I had a nice ivory tower like yours, Zak.
The IPCC is a body of scientists and economists – first convened by the United Nations (UN) in 1988 – which periodically produces summaries of the “scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation”.
The reports are produced, in the first instance, to inform the world’s policymakers.
In this detailed Q&A, Carbon Brief explains why the IPCC was asked to produce a report focused on 1.5C of global warming, what the report says and what the reaction has been
saying that climate change is man-made or that mankind is the reason for climate change is factually wrong. the climate has always changed and will always be changing. the water level had swings of >200m in the history of earth.
saying we can stop climate change is like saying that we can stop the earth from rotating.
Maybe I did read his post wrong, but wasn't this pretty much his point? I actually agree with your OP, but also think the wording of the topic was somewhat misleading and contradictory. Anyway, I try to get out of this thread. Nothing against you but there are way too many cynics around here that neither you nor me nor the pope will ever convince.
What a tosh. It's the speed in how it happens which is the point and where we have overwhelming evidence for. It's the speed of this development which will be absolutely lethal to mankind as there's no way to slowly adopt. It will be still relative slow compared to one single human lifetime, but a blink in the history of Earth and - that's the decisive point - of all 'natural' climate changes in past of the last millions of years. Drop this nonsense in a reputable science magazine and learn something new. I don't ask you to just believe me. Learn. LEARN!
That is probably true, but being described as an invasive species, is a thought that most people simply can't accept. I personally find it hard, and I've been called a misanthrope more often than I remember. But you're right and the lack of accepting our influence of the biosphere makes it hard to make changes.Of course is man made, we are evolution oddity, a invasive species that does not fit the Earth ecosystem - not contributing to it in any positive way. I know that we are tha cause and eventually we will pay a gruesome price if we dont stop acting against common sense.
Semantics?saying that climate change is man-made or that mankind is the reason for climate change is factually wrong. the climate has always changed and will always be changing. the water level had swings of >200m in the history of earth.
saying we can stop climate change is like saying that we can stop the earth from rotating.
Tony Heller/Steven Goddard has been debunked more times than I have been called a misanthrope. He's so full of it, that he almost takes the price. Just one example, to "help" you understand how full of it he and his arguments are, using his own video: He states that the old graph was made using "several hundred high quality stations". High quality stations in 1880? Then he argues that the stations used in 2019 are "very low quality". Yeah right...Figures can't lie, but liars can figure, thus one can only believe what they will.

Don't worry socialism is dead. Even China has converted to old fashioned despotism. Modern totalitarianism needs to be economically competitive.Pointing out that the climate crisis movement is a Trojan horse for socialism and dramatically increased governmental control over our lives doesn't make one a "troll," my dear picommander. I'll take the uncertainty of the climate changing and my descendants being forced to adapt any day of the week over the iron clad certainty that the population control party takes over completely. If that makes me a "troll" then that's a sword I'll fall on gladly.
When the system breaks down, the only 'defence' worthwhile, would be to disappear. I say this because, the only weapons you have access to, would be the ones inside your own defences. The bad guys have an unlimited supply, outside your fortress. Bigger and better weapons. If the world, does not know where you are, they cannot come and steal your stuff.That’s why it’s always a good idea to be self sustainable, you don’t need to be rich to do that, it’s also a good idea to be armed
