There's no need to kill anyone. As our climate collapses, that'll start to happen on its own

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

Yeah but the people that will be dying won’t be the ones with the biggest carbon footprints. It’ll be climate migrants from underdeveloped areas or island nations.

That’s the saddest part.

A lot of it won't happen on its own though. While direct deaths from climate-related things (floods, fires, wet bulb events, whatever) will happen, you can bet your ass that there'll be a lot of murderizing too.

Business as usual

Oh yes, the default setting for a disconcerting percentage of humans is to get violent when things get rough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

We've been violent since we started.

Probably 90% over our whole species timespan

Or....

We could kill the people who are not only directly responsible for, but who are actively refusing to stop the climate collapse because they want to keep making money and lording over us all from their super yachts (after giving them the opportunity to surrender their wealth for redistribution and stop their exploitation of course, which they will refuse), and actually have a realistic chance of stopping it.

Go after who you want, but the climate yacht has sailed. Drop it to zero tomorrow and we are still toast.
