While the heat domes bake me alive and turn my brain into mush, I will be cooled and comforted by the hope for shareholder value trickling down onto me, any day now.
It’s trickling on you now, can’t you feel it?
It’s warm and smells like Diabetes.
and is the shareholder value in the room with us now?
“Here comes the boy” but depressing.
What does this mean
Record breaking heat waves, record breaking storms in strength, flash floods, food shortages - all the good stuff.
Thank god we switched to paper straws and let the ultra rich use their private jets 5 times a day, or we would be really fucked.
You know paper straws were introduced to limit littering? We simply don’t need that much single use plastics in the environment.
It’s funny how people keep complaining they were forced to do this one little thing to help stop climate change that was never even supposed to stop it.
“The ultra rich did nothing while I removeded about every policy that would somehow affect me. So unfair!”
It was obviously a cynical joke.
Also, it’s not about the straws per se - it’s about that us everyday normies are being asked to change our ways to combat climate change and I’m totally in favor of that. We have to be more aware of our ways and where we can switch our behaviours to combat climate change.
But all it needs is an ultra rich dude flying around in his private jet or spend weeks on his yacht driving around and all our efforts become meaningless.
Change the little guy, for sure - but also grab the rich fucks by their balls as well. And so far nothing like that is happening.
why have straws at all? why have cups? let’s go back to a time when we used clay cups and bowls.
I prefer my cherry garcia mt dew megawatt slushie the way nature intended it, from the teat of a goat into a stoneware mug.
Like I get the rest, but everytime someone brings up the paper straw argument they seem like an asshole.
Not only because the reason wasn’t directly tied to climate change (it was because straws in the ocean would choke animals etc), but because it’s still something positive for the environment. Like yeah eliminating the rich would obviously be better, but complaining about the straws is still complaining about getting to do something good.
It kinda still makes it sound like you’d act no differently like a billionaire does in regards to pollution of you had the money, because if switching to paper straws is THAT annoying to you after all these damn years, why wouldn’t you be the kind person who takes a private jet instead of a short drive?
Like, it’s something you and the ultra rich probably both complain about, even though it’s something good for the environment. Think about that.
It was a joke and you make a lot of assumptions on someone you dont know.
I don’t mind paper straws. I don’t mind taking the train or public transport instead of a car or plane. I don’t mind paying more for green energy. But I complain about the ultra rich not carrying their fair share. They do not care at all, even though their footprint is bigger than mine and yours combined will ever be, and that is very frustrating to say the least.Its another marketing method to shift responsibility to the consumer. Like the carbon footprint. How are straws getting in the ocean anyway
nothing. it’s a thing that occurs every few years as part of the weather cycle.
don’t let all the doomer idiots tell you it means anything. el nino/la nina is just a name for cyclical changes in average water temperatures that affect weather patterns.
The word “dreaded” may be a bit much, but this one could be very bad for a lot of people. Extended droughts, extreme heat waves, etc. basically all the bad stuff we normally have but on niño steroids plus on climate change steroids.
Saying it’s nothing is naive at best
Right when Trump removes the ocean monitoring system.
It’s almost like it’s on purpose or something.
You mean: the weakest one going forward.
