    Well since we’re just gonna let the climate go to shit, let’s yeet this guy out into the Arizona desert. Or in front of a hurricane. I’m sure he won’t be missed.

    I’m not surprised he’d think this. But I am that he’d be dumb enough to say it.

      This tells you more how disconnected and entitled at the lack of personal consequences these people are than how stupid they are, I think.

      They’re not dumb, they’re just convinced it’s not going to cause them any personal damage to say this.

    It’s wild to me that corporations and governments can hold hands and be openly evil together, and people still think we can somehow regulate our way out of this, as if the last few decades of trying isn’t enough of an indication that it’s never going to happen.

    I’m fine with doubling down, if it’s all powered by furnaces that burn billionaires. After all, they’re all going to die eventually anyway, so they might as well provide some tangible service to the world for once.

      • Am driving into a wall
      • Turning or breaking in time sounds tricky
      • Might as well accelerate, maybe car will take off and fly over wall?
      • Woops, I died!

        It’s worse. Rather imagine:

        • Driving down a road that gets a little hotter every meter
        • Suggesting to speed up, because it’s not a comfortable temperature anymore, but already a bit hot, so we might as well get lethal temperatures quicker instead of stopping as long as it is still survivable

        Remember: climate change is no wall, it’s gradual. Stopping at any point is better than at any later point.

    He’s technically correct (best kind of correct), but that still doesn’t mean we should bring about Armageddon in exchange for gorified Google Search (with extra ads).
