A warm start to the winter season has left the Great Lakes virtually ice-free and with their lowest ice cover to kick off a new year in at least 50 years.
A warm start to the winter season has left the Great Lakes virtually ice-free and with their lowest ice cover to kick off a new year in at least 50 years.
On New Year’s Day, only 0.35% of the Great Lakes were covered in ice, the lowest on record for the date, and well below the historical average of nearly 10% for this point in winter, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL).
This year’s missing ice in the Great Lakes adds to a growing trend of winter ailments plaguing the US, from dwindling snowpacks in the West to an ongoing snow drought in the Northeast, all becoming more common due to warming temperatures from the climate crisis.
i'm just a problem solver. i don't see how we can fix anything until the far right is destroyed. they will muddy the waters until it's too late. i'm genuinely asking you what alternative you see to making lasting change for the better. all we have to do is collectively agree that's what it's going to take and people will start figuring out how to organize.
At this point climate collapse and resource depletion is going to take care of us all by the end of the century so imo damage mitigation is our best option.
Don't have kids. Go vegan. Reduce your consumption of items produced by slavery and sweatshops as much as possible.
Basically just do as much as you can to lower the amount of suffering you create by existing.
Killing people in the name of left wing politics is going to make things worse for everyone.
True, I am too 'chickenshit' to go on my own to a person who almost definitely has multiple armed security guards to kill them and put their head on a stake. Why haven't you done it yet? Too 'chickenshit?'
No, I'm asking you when and where the mob is meeting. You've said there has to be a mob. When and where will the mob be? Just give us a time and a date and a place.
We can't take it seriously enough to form one unless you tell us when and where to form it. It seems like you don't really want this mob to happen since you aren't being proactive about it.
Then maybe calling out the people in this thread for something you aren't doing yourself isn't a great idea. You're not calling out a mob, you're calling out us.
a society can collectively do whatever it wants when it sets its mind to a task. if you don't do it first, they're gonna do it to you. don't be a victim.
So what's with the original reply then? Not really adding to the conversation. In an existential crisis, people historically choose life over death, but now we're choosing the slow death.
