@Sam Amari The question is... how can we affect change? What are your proposals?

I say eliminate all food subsidies 😄

Isaac Arthur had an interesting idea

I love that dude.

Build a giant shade that interposes itself between us and the sun

the comic makes many assertions without listing the proof. thats whats expected. because otherwise its just saying stuff

@machtyn I'm thoroughly convinced we can do nothing. We are a cancer on the planet, humans.

so if we are. then why worry about it?

lets keep making the economy better and drive humanity forward

@Sam Amari are you a nihilist?

A realist

@Sam Amari Ok, so let's agree on that. Why would that influence anyone to give a shit then?

A nihilist wouldn't care about any of these issues

ok. but you have no solutions

No, I don't. Just because there are no solutions doesn't make something factually false.

I was a nihilist then I realized it's boring and existentialism is more fun.

so we should just do whats best for humanity then. which is improving the economy and advancing technology assuming your right.

@Sam Amari Ok, agreed. However, it DOES make it a wasted effort and thus I deny your request for taxes.

We simply are going to exhaust all resources. We will not conjure up more oil.

why tax emissions and stop co2 then?

I invest that money in steak, butter and delicious vegetables.

that stuff makes economys better. we should do it as much as possible then. if it doesnt matter then who cares

are we in agreement on that?

@Sam Amari I disagree. Humans are only here to bring our AI masters to life. I am a happy servant to do so.

read /r/collapse if you aren't too scared

sounds like most of you probably are

@shadowlessnexus I can't stop watching shroud on twitch play it and I wants it man! It looks pretty fun but I know it would fall flat without a single player campaign 😦

im not scared of anything. i havent been scared of death since i was 13

You know even the TRUMP administration admited to a 7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100, right?

The most anti-climate change regime on the planet said that.

is that supposed to prove something?

Yes, it proves the world is fucking warming, what i've been telling you and you've been denying.

@Sam Amari Yes, a massive collapse is coming but that doesn't stop me from wanting steak. So... I live another day.

@Sam Amari yea and what has that warming done?

it hasnt really been linked to anything

Warnings about the dangers of global warming are being watered down in the final version of a key climate report for a major international meeting next month. ‘True risks’ of warming played down to placate fossil-fuel nations. That's the only reason we don't freak out about it more, because oil companies keep things hushed.

they said the polar caps would melt by 2015. they didnt

Yes, it is warming but by how much and how many taxes are governments planning on levying to fight this unwinnable war?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, IT WAS LINKED TO THE SYRIAN REFUGE CRISIS THAT YOU DISMISSED

yea because there was zero evidence in that comic strip

it just said things.
