Don't think I need to summarize this one. This should be world news right now. This is bad news for everyone.

I was actually thinking about this last night. I was considering building a list of people that I should visit.

If we truly reach a point where the world becomes so horribly unlivable for so many people then I will go pay the people responsible a visit. They shouldn't be allowed to live a happily ever after in their climate compounds funded by their destruction of the planet.

They won't. The truth is biodome didnt work. They may stave off an extra 10-20 years underground but they are foolish if they think they will be spared. These effects span hundreds of years. This truly is our only sinking ship in an ocean of stars.

We always wondered what the great filter might be for the Fermi Paradox. Turns out one of the big ones is just that our petri dish is so delicate we can't advance very far without it collapsing immediately.

It's not even that. The petri dish could sustain the advancement until we could pivot to cleaner/safer things. We just chose not to pivot. The filter (for humans, anyway) is selfishness and greed.

10-20 years assuming the people living on top don't block the air flow out of spite...

I thought about that too.

A website where the names of the worst business people are written down with an explanation and proof of what exactly they did that fucked everybody. Of course those people get tracked like the elon jet and the website shows the last known location.

Bonus points for operating it completely legal because privacy rights got eroded.

Would love to see what happens.
