Antarctic sea ice has usually been able to recover in winter. But this time it's different, with levels taking a sharp downward turn at a time of year when sea ice usually forms reliably — and experts are worried.
Yeah, you can only sort-of make that argument about the last couple of centuries, and you have to say that all the genocides were worth it for vaccines and a steady food supply to do so.
I’m not convinced civilisation could collapse entirely do to climate change, though. Break into small warring pieces maybe, but as long as there’s still arable land somewhere people aren’t just giving up. And even in the crazy 10C scenarios Antarctica stays on the cool side of temperate.
Oh good, the evil narcissists with the armies of bootlickers will be able to survive by enslaving their followers and using their wealth to retreat to bunkers or uninhabited land masses. That sure bodes well for the future of humanity.
Modern infrastructure will collapse in very extreme climates. Even if humanity survives tribally, there is no way for civilization to develop. Easy access to all those sweet sweet oil is long gone. Alternate forms of energy won’t be possible for future tribal man without the steppingstone that is oil.
Oh well. Civilisation was nice while it lasted.
Was it though? Must’ve been nice for those few that hoard all the wealth
Was it, though?

Same as it’s always been, right? I hold onto hope that the enlightenment will stick, but I can’t guarantee it.
