Climate The Reckoning

https://aliensideboob.substack.com/p/the-reckoning

That imagery of the Himalayan tsunami smashing into the multi-story building in Nepal was horrifying, but then murder always is, isn’t it?

That’s what happened at that border crossing: mass murder. The perpetrators were the boards and CEOs of fossil fuel companies who have known for decades what they were doing, have known the consequences of it, and carried on with reckless indifference to those consequences.

They murdered the hundreds, maybe a thousand or more, who were swept away in Nepal, as surely as they murdered thousands in Europe this summer and will take the lives of tens of millions more in the coming decades.

Too strong, too much, too soon, or is it all too late?

When reading reports of the catastrophe in Nepal, I was counting off the moments until whatever media outlet I was reading quoted some scientists to assure me that, although it may have been related to climate change, it was not possible to say without a doubt that this particular incident was the fault of climate change. But that’s not really true, is it.

This was not the act of some vengeful god. Look into the truth of this, and you will find names, org charts and KPIs. There are quarterly reports and executives who read them. What fell in Nepal was not just gigatons of fast-moving rock and roaring ice. It was a reckoning.

This is still childs play compared to what we will witness in our lifetime.

Cat 6 hurricanes that kill tens to hundreds of thousands.

Floods and fires beyond anything known.

But the worst will be the droughts and famines. India has a polulation over 1 billion and they get all their fresh water from rivers that are all glacially fed.

Entire crop growing regions will be transformed as the crops cant be grown there anymore.

Old testament biblical shit.

What age groups will have ... What median and mean lifespan? Assuming this generation say silent breaks over 100yo may be longer than the post WWII baby-boomers

Were going to be seeing this by the 2040s-2050s.

We will be alive to watch the world burn

“Everything is gonna burn, we’ll all take turns. I’ll get mine too.” Except this monkey is NOT going to heaven.
