Iād come back as a mayfly so I could get the fuck off this shithole planet as quickly as possible.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Iām watching Kingsman (the first oneā¦ Itās very average/ not that good) but the Samuel L Jackson character (Valentin) is sounding a lot like SOS has been on here. Is there a link?
Are you referring to the massive wealth and intellect?
Or just this kind of thing, that everyone has known for decades?
When you get a virus, you get a fever. Thatās the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: Global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. Weāre making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we donāt reduce our population ourselves, thereās only one of two ways this can go: The host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host.
Itās accelerating more and more with each day that we think we can ignore it and carry on as usual. Itās coming so much faster than people can imagine.
The first Kingsman movie was Slightly Above Average, you fkn dipshit!!!
I know what you mean tho, itās not often you watch one of them bond type movies where a Megolamaniac is upto something Shady and think, hmm, thatās actually a Pretty Good Idea. I hope he pulls it off.
How about a 35Ā°c wet bulb.
Sounds good and itās relevant. All it needs is people to keep on doing what theyāre doing and thatās a given. Itās so simple itās brilliant. Try it, mention 35Ā°c and people all say āiāve been in hotterā and dismiss it.
Weāre getting closer and closer. Lots of people already dying, but when we hit 35Ā°, millions could die in days.
Pakistan and India are going to suffer big, but all the middle east, africa and south east Asia are in for massive death and population movement. Everywhere will suffer to various degrees, even Europe, so just as well weāre leaving. Donāt laugh, it has more validity than most the other reasons.
Pakistan is suffering regularly now and it has not hit the magic number yet.
Dr Seemin Jamali, a senior official at JPMC noted to Al Jazeera:
āThe mortuary is overflowing, they are piling bodies one on top of the other. We are doing everything that is humanly possible here. Until [Tuesday] night, it was unbelievable. We were getting patients coming into the emergency ward every minute.ā
Nasa have put together an interesting little film showing the time and length of the seasons changing over the last 20 years.
Welol, this sort of thing cannot help.
Looks like the EU has been exposed
It seems someone made a mistake and our acceleration towards our impending doom never slowed down, despite our weak half harted efforts. Oops
It builds on a range of research that shows that despite repeated claims global warming had stopped it is actually continuing at a catastrophic pace.
See, thing is @saint-or-sinner , as you have alluded to in previous posts I think there is very little that the Human Race can do about it. Weāve fucked the planet and now the planet is getting itās revenge.
Gaia is very much a thing and the Earth has gone through hots and colds in the past. The planet is one big petri dish and Gaia is, just now, putting it in the steraliser to clean it ready for the next lot.
I like that idea, but it is just an excuse for the carry on as normal mentality, which in itself condemns more to certain death.
The amount that will die goes up everyday people think like that @btripz
The only way everyone could possibly be wiped out is?
Have you worked it out yet?
Still in denial?
Carry on as normal then.
Oh Iām doing as much as I can @saint-or-sinner but we do really need buy in from the whole of society for this to work.
But I think weāre fucked anyway, Gaia is bored of us and wants to get rid.
Perhaps Gaia is a Saints fan and sees this as the only way to get rid of MP/ Reed/ Black(delete as appropriate)
This.
Those who worry most and try and recycle/manage their carbon credits actually create MORE harm than the remaining 99% (well that is the jist of it)
Almost posted that on your black Friday thread Phil. Itās a good article and as you have pointed out, raises the ugly issue of whoās to blame.
1 million plastic bottles a minute stood out.
Yeah. I lived the āCorporate Dreamā for quite some time.
Over here that wasnāt so difficlut - finding growth every year - was as much about education and delivery channels for us compared with the developed markets.
But even then when walking through Naif Bazaar here and seeing basically shop after shop selling shit that you wouldnāt get 10 p for at a car boot sale made me wonder.
Around the same time I became ācontentā look I have nothing these days and need to find a way to build a home to retire to and some money to pay for it, but I never needed the latest gizmo. Christ my car is over 210,000 kms already and at least 10 years old.
But I simply wondered what the hell do you do in life when you dont NEED to go buy something in the Mall? Sure I hae picked up some $1.50 Tee Shirts or work chinos in sales and my telly blew up, but just what IS the point of Capitalism when you have everything you need?
Yet the machine keeps churning you on. Politicans MUST have growth (and Inflation) the whole system of Public Debt demands it.
Consumerism, Capitalilsm are out of control. So much waste upgrading your Apple Phones every 18 months yet at the bottom of the scale so much waste for a labourer who buys a $1 doll for his kid that lasts a week. (And there are 100ās of millions of those for every Apple upgrader.
Planet will only start to stabilise when Gene Roddenberryās system is implemented
Irony.
Climate change = less Arctic Ice = Easier to Drill for more Oil and Natural Gas.
And Russia is miles ahead of everyone else in that game
āClimate change = less Arctic Ice = Easier to Drill for more Oil and Natural Gasā
True, but on the positive side more fuel to make the electricity to power more air-conditioning units
Back at the beginning of this thread, i said it would be some innocuous event that signals our impending demise(or words to that effect).
Well done @dubai_phil you might have found it.
More ice melts, sea levels rise, the once perma frozen tundra releases all the trapped methane, all whilst the US and Russia(+respective allies) burn evermore hydrocarbons in the fight to control the resources of the area, which in turn heats up the area they are fighting over and so pushes the temperature/air quality past critical and we all die*.
A positive for @cobham-saint Billions die, but the cost of heating** goes down, as the customer base has vanished.
* @btripz has someone already written a book covering that scenario?
**All the places that use ac will have perished years before.
