    All that, and you may have left out the most damaging of all… Trump will likely pull the US out of Copenhagen, leaving no chance of limiting temps below 2C let alone getting anywhere near 1.5C. The excess deaths from this will likely dwarf COVID.

      Honestly, I can’t be bothered to worry about the climate 100 years from now when we’re going to be attacking (many more) Americans 100 days from now

        I can’t be bothered to worry about the climate 100 years from now

        I can because I care about my kids and potential grandchildren.

        we’re going to be attacking (many more) Americans 100 days from now

        I also have family members who will be impacted directly by that.

        I can be concerned about stopping both of those negative outcomes. (And would be even if it didn’t directly impact my family)

          I’m sorry, just my anxiety speaking there. Of course you’re right, but if Trump death squads purge the undesirables, nobody will be left to defend the environment, and this is on a shorter time table.

            Of all the bullshit that Trump yelled about, I think actual death squads is relatively low on the list of things he would actually be able to accomplish.

            For the first year or so he will be too focused on trying to punish the justice system that was so “unfair” to him.

        Don’t get me wrong, Drumph’s second term will be bad for everyone. But the climate issue is going to be truly catastrophic on a scale even he and his cronies can’t match. There should be plenty of worry to go around.

        Mate it’s not 100 years, more like 20. Look at all the extreme weather from this year alone. Most recently with Spain.

        100 years from now? Ha, you wish. With Trump in the White House we will speed run through all the tipping points that remain
