In other news - Walls we should be building - https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/fighting-climate-action-uninhabitable-earth-author-david-wallace-wells-podcast-ncna979551

Those changes are coming for us too. I don't think that we'll be able to escape them in the U.S. and the U.K. For instance, but the question of climate reparations, I think, will be a major subject in the coming century. Who's gonna build the sea walls? And where do we decide where the sea walls will be built, and where they won't be built?

I was talking to a really prominent climate scientist a few months ago, who was one of the lead authors of the IPCC last report, and has been doing a lot of consulting work in New York City where he lives. So I said, "Are we gonna build a sea wall in New York?" And he said, "Oh, of course we'll build a sea wall. Manhattan real estate's way too expensive to lose." But those kinds of projects ... You look at the subway, it takes 30 years.

If we started now, he said, we couldn't build it fast enough to save parts of Howard Beach, South Brooklyn, Queens. He said, "The city knows this, and you're gonna start seeing them stopping infrastructure repair, not doing work on the subway lines and even telling those residents explicitly, 'You might be able to live here for another 20 years, but you're not gonna be able to leave this house for your kids.'" This is in New York City. And this is a conversation that the climate...

Global warming is going to fuck everyone, because it doesn't care about borders (that's why it's called global). We're going to end up wishing we'd killed the rich white deniers when we had the chance.

I know several people that have moved away from NYC precisely for that reason. And that was over ten years ago.

Maybe that's why amazon decided to bug out.

Pfff, they'll just miss out on riding taxi-gondolas through the canals of New York past colorful locals shouting "Hey, I'm wadin' here!"

+1 Good meaning "Really +1 WTF is wrong with this country but at least maybe this will make some in the military finally wake up and realize they're being exploited by a draft-dodging pathological lying criminal con artist so when he refuses to leave office they won't back his play". And if they still vote for him after he pulls this bullshit, they deserve to lose their pensions.

When I served, they drilled into our heads, "If you want that annual raise, vote Republican." I can't wait to see how they respond to this.

Nothing will change.
