I really think people are sleeping on the AMOC. The first season there isn't European wine/cheese/olives because of climate change is the first season European farmers probably literally declare war on their governments, to say nothing of the fact that almost no European homes can handle this level of cold. And for some perspective, this is only one of many other huge changes that huge populations will react violentl…

I am interested in your implication that European farmers would have someone other than themselves to blame for this outcome. As a whole they are at least as backwards as American farmers. They are largely deniers of climate change either as a thing altogether or as something attributable to man, or are prone to believing it helps them with longer growing seasons, and their main political activity is protesting any changes in their diesel fuel subsidies.

Would it be more scientific to say it is sure it will happen? I suspect the opposite is happening, too many times an environmental catastrophe has been predicted in too certain terms and has not happened, which is why many people lost trust. And if you think that we shouldn't try to predict but only inform about what has already happened that seems even stranger to me.

All is good. until it’s not.

I guess that’s what parent meant.

But just because it’s also their fault doesn’t hinder them to blame the government.

Who do you think will MAGA blame for the consequences of climate change?

Every look into the future is could and might. So you prefer just to ignore it and deal with the disaster afterwards?

A read a good quote this week but I can’t remember the exact saying. Something like: the check gets cashed eventually.
