Billionaires Are Reaping Record Profits While The Ice Melts Antartica 65 Degrees Record High

[DanieRains]

What the hell is going on?

[maveric]

1. The other day it was warmer in Antarctica than it was in San Diego.

59 high in SD, 65 in Antarctica.
Hmmmmm.

[msongs]

2. its not billionaires driving hundreds of millions of fume belching cars every day nt

[Ron Green]

4. No, but it's billionaires (and their predecessors) who built the

car-centric world we’ve enjoyed since 1920, and especially since WW2.

10. My Volt Gets Over 100 MPG

And renewables heat my house.

And its cheaper even without war costs.

[Ron Green]

12. That's good, but your Volt still has a tailpipe, and requires the massive road infrastructure

that supports millions of other vehicles with tailpipes.

The truth is, We are screwed - and no politician wants to even say that, much less be left holding the bag when the collapse comes.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. No, but they're the ones profiting from the system.

And a big part of the reason why we seem to be unable to alter our fossil fuel consumption patterns.

3. you will find the reuse of billionaire as a device is less effective the more it is used

and using it indiscriminately like this, will help it diminish faster

[FiveGoodMen]

5. Neither party has shown much willingness to oppose those billionaires' activities

[Fresh_Start]

6. honestly billionaires are not the main issue facing the USA

unless you are talking about the russian billionaires who are propping up trump and Bernie and causing division in the democratic constituency

[0rganism]

7. adaptive pressure

the biosphere is about to be severely filtered down to a fraction of the species it supports now

[hunter]

15. The biosphere will recover eventually but this civilization won't be around to see it.

Probably no humans as well.

[0rganism]

19. the biosphere will look very different when it recovers

pity none of us will be around to see it then

8. The same thing that's always been going on...

The sixth mass extinction begins at the Younger Dryas Boundary. So does the book of Genesis.

The plow is a black ball technology. Fossil fuels are just accelerants.

I don't think most people understand how many fundamental premises, articles of faith, and sacred cows are challenged by the realities science has made observable in recent years. Science and dogma are antithetical, science denial is the rationalization of paradox necessary to preserve cherished beliefs.

It isn't just greed we have to overcome.

[DanieRains]

9. Fear And Sloth

Too.

[Initech]

11. When there's no more people, who's going to buy their crap?

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

14. This is why Elon Musk wants to go to Mars

Mars is the ultimate bolt hole, the ultimate treehouse the billionaires can pull the ladder up on while everyone else drowns, burns, and starves. Where the the laws of Earth don’t apply so they can do whatever they want.

Mars exploration is good, but don’t forget who wants their grubby hands in that cookie jar.

[hunter]

16. Mars would be a good place for the billionaire class to die.

I personally think they should be taxed out of existence, reduced to mere multi-millionaire status, but sending them to Mars would work just as well.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

17. Can't totally disagree with that

[Locutusofborg]

18. I had no idea that the 2,153 billionaires were that hot.
