@breadandcircuses Our fossil fuel addiction reminds me of other addictions—we’re “bargaining” to try to hold the future at bay, but in reality just kicking the can down the road for future generations to cope with—notice I don’t say solve or remedy.

Bread and Circuses

@bronakins The last real chance we had of "solving" this problem was probably back in the 1990s. Now, as you say, it's cope — and hope to survive.

@breadandcircuses @breadandcircuses I hear that “flyover country” has a lot of land for “coastal elites” to settle after the former coasts are flooded. (Talk about turning red states blue!)
Trouble is climate change also will have turned formerly lush land into dustbowls—people will be safe from rising seas but hungry! The only arable land in N. America will be in Canada & Greenland. #Emissions #climatechange #climatecrisis

@bronakins @breadandcircuses Not clear there will be arable land. IIUC it takes about 200 years to make soil.
