This is why I get angry that whenever I complain on Reddit about climate change because of massive heatwaves someone said "just emigrate north lmao". Neoliberals are deluded, we have to solve the problem, period.

Big "sell your house to aquaman" energy

"Solve" was 20 years ago. Now it's only "mitigate". But that's the difference between global catastrophe and literal breakdown of organized society.

We could solve global warming right now with intentional cloud seeding, but many are worried geoengineering could be too effective and freeze us. Or, if we solve the heating, it could give fossil fuels the wrong impression that they can keep pumping CO² into the air despite it still killing the oceans with carbonic acid.

[–] CazzoneArrapante@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No. Solve is solve. period. I want a solution.

They also fail to understand that there are 9 theorized planetary boundaries needed to support human life, and we've crossed at least 6 if not 7 of them. We need to not cross ANY. Moving north doesn't fix most of these PLANETARY boundaries

Could you expand on what are those boundaries and what have we already crossed? Seems interesting.

North is their answer.. Ask them if Canada is north enough..

Where we had that Hell Dome^TM from June 25 to July 1, 2021 and 526 people died after it reached 50°c and didn't cool off at night-- making it "the deadliest weather event in Canada to date."

Or how about when it flooded so bad in the same place, 6 months later, that thousands of animals died, 20k people needed to be evacuated, and roads broke-- cutting off the Greater Vancouver Region from the rest of the Province.

Heatwave

Flood

North won't save anyone 😬
