ok, but only a very small percentage of the global population gets to visit the entire earth on a yearly basis - I mostly only care about where I live.
“There’s way too many people in well-off areas that will survive the great famines and heatwaves killing most people by the equator. So it’s not really all that bad.”
What a stupid, stupid opinion. It’s this exact kind of idiotic nonsense take that’s dominated and helped out the culpable industries throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Get fuckin bent
the reality is that the poor and downtrodden masses will suffer - as is the case when you look back through history. it has always been this way. why should that change because you’re alive? what do you contribute to the equation to alter it in any meaningful way?
some small minority percentage of humanity will survive (the wealthy 1st world nation’s citizens) - probably in bunkers or perhaps in orbit - and after things “cool off” they will repopulate the world. you can see the faint beginnings of this starting now, if you look close enough.
the wealthy don’t know how to live within their means or how to build a supportive community or to adapt to a drastic loss in lifestyle quickly. the poor have been already.
Congrats on the most ignorant comment on this side of the server. Not only did you achieve this once, you continued to show your ignorance in a whole thread of discussion. Incredible.
A global average of 17c doesn’t even mean it’s necessarily 17c anywhere in the world. That’s not how averages work. It could be 0c in half the world, and 34c in half the world, and the global average would be 17c (and yet it would be 17c nowhere).
The point of global averages is to identify trends, which are not isolated to a particular region.
17c/62f is on the low side of comfortable though
It’s the average for the entire earth, not the temperature in any one area.

Takes like this are why we don’t deserve to survive as a species
lol there’s far too many people alive now for any type of cataclysm to kill everyone
How…does that make sense to you.

It’s acutely disappointing to see people care so little about others & the world in general.
But I don’t want to waste energy being mean to people on the internet. I hope you have a change of heart.
That’s not how this works. It’s like being in a swimming pool and not caring if people are peeing in it because “nobody’s peeing in my area.”
A climate crisis in one area will definitely effect another negatively.
Wow, you are a terrible human being.
Just block the user, clearly a troll or troglodyte looking at the comment history
you will note, however, that my comment has garnered some nice discussion. all other top level comments are singular, boring, etc.
People calling you stupid is “nice discussion” in your perspective?
any discussion at all is praiseworthy & I dont much care what others think/say. after all, arguing with someone on the internet is peak capitalism.
This fact is not particularly relevant to the effects of the rise in global temperature.
Dude forgot he was in worldnews not MuncieIndiana news. Easy mistake to make.

If “average” only would mean that the temperature is the same everywhere.
“yes, I’ve never read a single book. How can you tell?”
Obvious troll is obvious.
