Regardless of Who runs for POTUS, regardless of how much hate the GOP can whip up, regardless of all the clamoring for stuff and magic pills and Hail Mary passes for humanity we get sucked up in : Climate Change is Exponential.
We need to say it, because it is here.
If it hurts like hell to admit, this makes no difference.
the speed at which the changes are happening goes faster as the clock tics
Just check your dashboard

Given the trajectory we are on, how many christmases do you really see in the Chrystal ball?
The time it took for peak temps to hit 120 was significantly less than the jump from 100 to 110.
The Southern hemisphere had spikes above 127 in 2023.
That’s a 7 degree jump in … 3 years or so?
It ain’t over down there for summer
And we up north go next.
The Northeast winter …… high temps and rain
And summer won’t follow the same heat trend? Really?
How much more forest will we burn? Well how much is left...
All the press about holding down increases to below 1.5 of pre industrial temps — is irresponsible reporting we have crossed into 2 degrees and blown past 1.5.

All arguments about what we “should” do are nice fluff.
arguments that we have time are a fucking cover up racket.
This is like ordering band-aids for bodies in the morgue
