nebrisFirst things First...
Accelerating Climate Change is not 'in the future', it is here NOW and we're well past being able to stop it. Maybe slow it down marginally, but we're not really trying. Recycling and other 'consumer based' efforts are bullshit made up by corporations to shift the blame. In fact, it is the major global industries that are generating the vast amount of heat pollution and they're not stopping or even slowing down. Not to mention micro-plastics in everything...
That The Corporate Confederacy is fighting any change in this regard is pretty obvious: such threatens their Bottom Line and "Profits Before People" is tattooed on the inside of their eyelids. They also believe their wealth and power will allow them to 'ride it out'.
The [mostly White] Right Wing political movement hates the concept because they want to return to an imagined 'golden age' and Accelerating Climate Change totally shitcans that entire dream.
The Modern Left is politically impotent in the face of Corporate Power and fairly delusional about the outcome of this crisis. Lots of 'Positive Thinking' horseshit.
I'm seventy two and will probably be dead before the worst of it hits. [crosses fingers] But last summer did knock the ever livin' shit outta me. I also keep my fingers crossed that our electricity and our supply chains hold up until me and mine have moved on.
Those of you under say, forty to fifty, y'all are fucked and your kids and grand kids doubly so. Accelerating Climate Change will shorten your lives and likely kill many, if not most, of your children. Sorry...
Since this is an "Her Prophet" post, I need to speak of The Sisterhood. [SH]
From the very beginning, I have worked on SH as being a movement that can actually 'ride this out'. The whole Transhumanist Amazon paradigm is based upon surviving this catastrophe and flourishing on the other side of it. I'm still somewhat pessimistic, but such is my nature. I know too much fuckin' history. But Dum spiro spero, "While I breathe, I hope", hence is rather depressing missive.
I could rant another half dozen paragraphs, but this tired me, and so I shall wrap it up...
...and so it is.
