Work from home, buy less stuff, eat less meat, and most importantly throw all billionaires feet first into a wood chipper.
The problem is real. the past few years it's been raining as much as snowing during polar night in northern Norway.

There was the theory I read last year about billionaires not giving a shit that the world is getting worse because they were building bunkers and yachts and hoarding resources.
Knowing what I know about religious folks who also actively push for the end of the world to fight with angels or some shit, it checks out.
1 billion people doing a major life change would move the needle in fixing the world. But you can also get the same results with a few billionaires.
Sure but walking home is gonna do jack shit, we gotta focus on the wood chipper part

"Global warming" was always a weak formulation of the problem, and "climate change" is even weaker. I prefer "Anthropogenic runaway global heating" which has the handy acronym ARGH.
In german the term "climate catastrophe" (Klimakatastrophe) is used more and more often.
I like it when people use ecocide. Like ecological murder, destruction.
Words are important!
Good word, but needs more connotation of "suicide" as well.
The rich decided they will just relocate to cooler zones and leave climate refugees to die. That is why the US is trying to take Greenland and co-opt Canada. Also why border security is getting so much attention. Climate refugees will be a major issue in the future between rising seas and unlivable heat zones.
The problem is that ordinary people can only do so much to prevent climate change, any real impact can only come from above, by goverment regulations and the ultra rich following those regulations and doing their part, unfortunately the filthy rich control the government and they would rather take 16 min flights in their private jets, the planet be damned
The problem is deeper: I doubt any single government can stop the climate change, and any international agreements are doomed to fail because someone would say they are getting the short end of the stick with green stuff and nothing in return. Plus there would be no accountability for not meeting the targets.
Most Americans thinking in Fahrenheit are gonna think this doesn't look so bad.
Just multiply by 9/5 and add 32 and the horror becomes apparent.
EDIT: added rest of formula because I'm an idiot
Don't forget to add 32 afterwards
And right there, that's why I should look things up before I open my mouth. I remembered the 9/5, and forgot the last part.
I usually just multiply by 2, subtract 10%, and then add 32. Usually easier than 9/5 and gives same result.

When it'll be too bad they'll say something like: "you mean poors! YOU have destroyed climate, so NOW we do not allow you do own anything and we'll monitor and restrict your use of everything to make sure you live in misery and stay unimpactful, while we can chill on our yachts and SAVE the WORLD. Be THANKFUL to us, the world would BURN without our action."
The line can't go down, and if climate itself dare to stop the growth, they better stop climate change.
If it's not heat waves, it's several days of hard rain, dirty water swirling round your hips, and the constant threat of leptospirosis or rat shit disease.
Can we ban the phrase "politics isn't my thing"? Saying it is punishable by 1 hour in the nearest town stockade.

Just north of Seattle yesterday I was in my living room and the thermostat was 81 degrees. I was dying. I thought for a sec...if this gets to 100 we're just going to cook. But then I realized its still Fahrenheit. But wow! 50C is just such a crazy temp to even try staying alive in. That's fly away weather right there.
