first you fuckers tell me my whole life that I'm smarter than you, that I'm brilliant, that i'm an "extraordinary mind" and how you feel better knowing I won't shut the fuck up about anything

then you say "the kids will save us" which mostly means you've abdicated any responsibility to even understand climate change let alone act in opposition to it. it's big and scary so you refuse to learn anything about it and you freak out if we try to tell you what's going on, accuse us of fearmongering and hysteria. so we dream up solutions big enough to tackle the bag of shit you've handed down to us.

then you grumble and gripe about how radical the kids are and how you just don't understand why we feel like we have to change everything.

in summary, in your own fucking words, I am smarter than you, operating off of a larger base of knowledge than you, and it's my job to solve a problem you caused and have literally no interest in resolving.

tell me again why the fuck your opinion is relevant. shut up and get out of my way.

‘It’s funny how England never seemed to pay too much of a price for its crimes.” “No one does. You pay for being the victim, not the criminal.”’ (p 32)

‘If one percent of the humans alive controlled everyone’s work, and took far more than their share of the benefits of that work, while also blocking the project of equality and sustainability however they could, that project would become more difficult. This would go without saying, except that it needs saying.‘ (p 58)

‘The three richest people in the world possess more financial assets than all the people in the forty-eight poorest countries added together.‘ (p 74)

‘This is what our thinking has been reduced to: essentially a neoliberal analysis and judgment of the neoliberal situation. It’s the structure of feeling in our time; we can’t think in anything but economic terms, our ethics must be quantified and rated for the effects that our actions have on GDP.‘ (p 74)

‘Arctic permafrost contained as much stored methane as all the Earth’s cattle would create and emit over six centuries, and this giant burp, if released, would almost certainly push Earth over an irreversible tipping point into jungle planet mode, completely ice-free; at which point sea level would be 110 meters higher than at present, with global average temperatures at least 5 or 6 degrees Celsius higher and probably more, rendering great stretches of the Earth uninhabitable by humans. At that point civilization would be over. Some remainder of humanity might adapt to the new biosphere, but they would be a post-traumatic remnant, in a post-mass-extinction world. That being the case, efforts were being made to thicken the Arctic sea ice in winter, which would allow it to hold on longer through the summers.’ (p 147) ‘If economics is a method for optimizing various objective functions subject to constraints, then the focus of change would need to look again at those “objective functions.” Not profit, but biosphere health, should be the function solved for; and this would change many things.‘ (p 166)

‘Everything relied on the whole system working. If it didn’t we would die, one way or the other, from thirst or from fighting each other. This was all completely clear to everyone but the crazies among us. There are always such people, but in this case they were outnumbered a hundred to one at least, and subdued by the police if they made trouble. For the rest of us, it came down to this: we had to trust our society to work well enough to save us. As it had never worked very well before, this was a big leap of faith, for sure.‘ (p 168)

‘We were so afraid that we behaved well, that was how bad it was.‘ (p 169)

‘Extinctions and ocean warming can’t be fixed no matter how much money future people have, so economics as practiced misses a fundamental aspect of reality.‘ (p 173)

‘Another man said I don’t own my kids’ teacher, I don’t own my doctor, I don’t need to own my house. I just want to pay the collective for it, not some landlord. So maybe someday the solidarity will overcome the splitting.‘ (p 248)

‘We have to live, we have to give this place to the kids with the animals still alive and a chance to make a living. That’s not so much to ask.‘ (p 248)

‘Some who feel the end is near work to hasten it, or worsen it. Their position seems to be that if they’re going to die then the world must die with them. This is clearly a manifestation of narcissism, and has been named the Götterdämmerung Syndrome.‘ (p 297)

‘Who is incentivized to do what in a wage ratio of one to a thousand? Those getting a thousand times more than starting wage earners, what’s their incentive from out of that situation? To hide, I’d say. To hide the fact that they don’t actually do a thousand times more than their employees. Hiding like that, they won’t be normal. They’ll be bullshitters.‘ (p 384)

‘Not that there aren’t conspiracies, it’s just that they’re all well known.‘ (p 408)

Let’s talk about something that’s going to piss some of you off…Setting your air conditioner to 60°F is not a lifestyle choice. It’s a climate disaster and shows your privilage.

Every summer, without fail, the discourse resurfaces: “Don’t shame people for keeping their AC low, some people need it.”

I agree. Some people do. Chronic illness, extreme heat exposure, vulnerable elders and those with real valid reasons.

I am not talking to them. I am talking about the rest of you. You’re not being cute. You’re not relatable. What you’re broadcasting is, “I have the privilege to destroy shared systems for my own comfort, and I feel no shame.”

----Let’s Talk Numbers---- The U.S. Department of Energy recommends 78°F for efficiency. Most people can live comfortably at 74–78°F without medical issues. Cranking it to 60°F is extreme and mostly cultural habit or preference, not necessity.

AC is one of the largest drivers of electricity demand on the planet: It accounts for ~10% of global electricity use In the U.S., AC use alone emits 117 million metric tons of CO₂ per year

(Source: U.S. Department of Energy) https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/air-conditioning More?…Okay… https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-cooling

The International Energy Agency that I hope is crediable enough for all you oh so savvy internet know it alls. Here is there my BS sources so that somebody actually thinks about the information that I feel like I have to scream in order to be taken seriously. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/international-energy-agency-iea/

Every time you lower your thermostat by a single degree, you increase your energy use by 3–5%. Running your home at 60°F while it’s 100°F outside isn’t efficient. It is wasteful.

And it’s Not Just Electricity. Air conditioning units leak HFCs…hydrofluorocarbons. Greenhouse gases that are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide. These emissions trap more heat in the atmosphere, making the future even hotter. Cough, Cough…here is some more fucking sources you ignorant asshats who still don't believe that "You are part of the problem. You and people like you!"

So yes, you are literally making the problem worse every time you “can’t live without cold air.” Am I still allow to ironically put [insert image here] or is that going to make you all scream this was written by AI

“But What About AI?” Since everyone looooooooooooovessss to justify their actions by the evil of AIs. Let’s get this straight before the techbros jump in.

All data centers combined, including those running AI, are so far behind AC and and industry usage, yet they are the new villian of the season. I am not saying that AI doesn't have an impact I am only suggesting that you see how easily you are being influence by the distractions you say you are too intelligent to be manipulated by. What makes you think that you are so special to avoid being manipulated?

Since apparently facts don’t matter unless they’re handed to you like a Yelp review, here’s your damn source.

https://www.ifri.org/en/papers/ai-data-centers-and-energy-demand-reassessing-and-exploring-trends-0

Global AC use? Over 2,000 TWh/year IEA, Nature, OpenAI, Google estimates

That means air conditioning currently uses 5–10x more energy than AI. AI is growing fast but it’s not the one blowing cold air into your empty living room at 60°F for eight hours a day.

Here is another kick in the ass you genius internet warrior bards need which is it never had to be this way. So not only are you being fooled…you’re part of a legacy of design failure and denial. Fools who build our cities and homes like heat traps, then sold you AC to survive the consequences. We stripped trees, paved shade, built homes with black roofs and no airflow, and said, “Good luck, hope your AC works!”

Meanwhile: Indigenous and traditional architecture in hot climates uses natural insulation, earth walls, reflective surfaces, shaded courtyards. People dress in light, breathable fabric, move with the sun, and build structures around the land, not against it. But instead of learning from that, we slap an AC on the problem and call it progress.

Here’s what your 60°F thermostat setting actually says:

"I don’t care if I’m straining the grid and increasing the risk of blackouts for families who can’t afford AC."

"I don’t care that I’m emitting greenhouse gases thousands of times more dangerous than CO₂."

"I don’t care that I’m pushing the climate further toward collapse, so long as I get to sleep cold."

Your comfort is coming at someone else’s cost. Stop pretending it’s neutral. We change how we live, not just what we buy.

>Set your thermostat to 76–78°F. It’s literally fine. >Wear lighter clothing, especially at home. >Plant trees, grow shade, ditch turf grass for heat-resilient landscapes. >Support home designs with natural ventilation, thick walls, and shaded facades. >Normalize sweating a little instead of torching the world.

And be angry about this. Be loud about it. Because the AC abusers will get defensive. They’ll say they’re being “shamed.” Good. Shame is a social tool. Let’s start using it for the climate.

Want more data you can’t argue with?

THE FUCKHEADS KNEW ABOUT THIS FOR DECADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
