This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change.

50 years ago they thought this migration would happen because of overpopulation or famine, but they described precisely what would happen when it did.
Welcome to the new tribalism, we may be here a while
When we got to Europe I'm sure the Neanderthals weren't too happy about it, but these new sapiens tribes (us) all seemed to be allied together in a loose geographic confederation, so we 'won' every area we entered.
When the Neanderthals first saw us appearing in their forests and valleys, they probably would have referred to us as "the blacks."

420 ppm is fatal. Les jeux sont faits.
We have been told, but we have not learned, what "that course" is and means.
GOP uses scarcity as a way to control voters.
When folks are afraid of huge federal spending and cuts and personal sacrifice, many WANT to believe climate isn’t a pressing issue.

We were oil and water.
Look at Chernobyl and what happens when a reaction is left in checked. Same theories apply to our ecosystem.
The extreme shitstains running things at most levels will fight anything likely to work, while continuing to make things worse.
That plus momentum -> doomers.
The US is concerned about mass migration at the southern border. Climate change will make it worse around the world.
Climate change is where that falls apart. We could have addressed it in the 1980s or 1990s, maybe into the 2000s.
We are fucked. There is no solution at this point.
Here in the PNW the effects will be buffered somewhat, but it’s still coming all the same.

We enter the post truth era and the upcoming Climate Wars timeline.
Good luck.
Not just for the surface instability it created, but also the drop in attention span, IQ, and emotional stability the disease causes.
It was a very solid nail in the coffin.
Until then the watch sports on the telly.
Omnishambles by design or just incompetence?
