    Just going to keep posting this every time it comes up.

    We could reduce energy and materials cost of global production worldwide to 30% current capacity by planning production instead of leaving it to the market, and greatly increase the standard of living for everyone on this planet. But first we have to get rid of capitalism and institute democratic socialist planning.

      All strains of Socialism are democratic, it’s a bit redundant to include unless you’re trying to emphasize the democratic factor as opposed to our current system.

    Simple solution: take power, ban the right-wing parties and their financers, if they protest use acid cannons, blackmailing and censorship towards them and coup every country with a right-wing government.

    It’s not about stopping climate change anymore. That ship has sailed and sunk.

    Now its about surviving long enough to witness very bad things happening to very bad people.

    Just putting it out there that “property owning” is not the class deliniator! I “own” my house/property and the only differences are that i pay rent to a bank instead of a landlord, and i can knock holes in the walls if i want to.

    I’m still pretty much paycheck to paycheck, squarely in the working class.

    20 years? Not 25? I thought 2060 was when things would really crumble due to climate change is we continued business as usual (which is what we’re doing).

      Does it matter? Ultimately, these are estimates. Educated, data backed estimates, but still estimates.

      One larger than expected volcanic eruption, coral reefs dying faster than expected, whatever, all it takes is one or two things to not go the way they’re expected and everything speeds up.

      20 years or 25 years, the point is we’re all kinda fucked unless we do something about it.

      What we need to do has been and will continue to be debated ad nauseam, but we know we must do something.

    We could be nuked today

    I agree, we should focus more on climate change, though.
