It is already here, I took pictures of cracked earth and dry riverbeds this summer and I live in fucking Middle Europe.

Can't wait for my beach front property.

The Iran War is going to decrease fossil fuel consumption globally for the first time since COVID.

Shame we're locked into ten more years of escalation. But we've actually turned a corner, believe it or not.

Yeah, all the current events making diesel more expensive suck, and will hurt everyone's budget regardless if they drive. But we all know we need to use less diesel, right? We've just found the worst possible way to reduce the world's reliance on diesel.

That's Market Forces for you.

Making everyone feel the pain all at once in the worst way possible

Holy fuck.

Can you imagine if this is Trump's deal, all along? Take the fall for being a douche, while waging war on Iran, making oil scarce, forcing us all to rely less on it, saving the planet?

Oh my god someone slap me out of this shit. I need to recenter myself. 🤚🫱😳💨

You know, I'm convinced with the right person in his ear, he could be convinced to play that angle.....Pysch! I was just doing this to save the world. Now we're going fully renewable! He just needs to believe that he'll be hailed as a hero.

Why is the solution always killing brown people?

Because white people feel entitled to take their shit.

The "revolution" will not be televized, but it will be in portrait format and wobbly AF, in 30sec snippets. 🥲🤷🏼‍♂️

Or by the time it arrives in your area you're used to it and don't bother anymore to film it. There's a generation alive now that never knew a normal climate.

normal climate

"But this climate is normal?"

Frankly, I'd prefer this over the more likely scenario: Not all locations are equally susceptible to climate change related disasters. The people who made their wealth wrecking the earth are going to fill those places, and leave the rest of us to survive as best we can in the hurricanes, mudslides, and heatwaves.

At least I won't have to worry about dying from it because the cameraman never dies /j

At that point, such a high percentage of people will be seeking wildfire/flood/hurricane/etc. relief that your footage won't even make the first 10 pages of GoFundMe

and GoFundMe may or may not still be up at that point

I think Ontario has the craziest dichotomy here. You can live right in the middle of the biggest collection of surface freshwater on the planet, and it's the fires that are most likely to get you.

... and then you either move somewhere else and watch the footage from the people you passed or you die.

The awareness fundraisers after the awards shows and film festivals are gonna be lit.
