Im just glad it’s shaping up to be so apocalyptic that there’ll be no safe haven for the owner class that caused it. Let them burn with the peasants they decimated for profit.
The ones responsible will be gone by the time the worst effects will be felt. Sins of the father?

Honestly one of the reasons that longevity treatments could actually turn out to be a good thing.

All of a sudden a bunch of rich fucks who were sooo sure that climate change wouldn’t effect them but rather their great great grandkids have a good reason to pour a lot of money into the problem so they don’t die of heat or starvation at the young age of 150 when they could have lived 200? 300? Who knows, at a certain point you get a longevity tech run away effect.
