I worry that he’s just the worst president in US history so far. When somebody eventually takes the title from him, they’re going to have to invent whole new categories of heinous, unpresidential shit to do. It’ll take a real trailblazer.
Optimistic that you think we’re going to have a future to have presidents in
Things are not great right now (to put it mildly) but I don’t think it’s the unrecoverable death-spiral that so many are hoping for. Time will tell.

if humans don’t sort out their politics/economics within a generation, im afraid it really is the beginning of the end. theguardian.com/…/collapse-critical-atlantic-curr…

The research found that if carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse, while an intermediate level of emissions resulted in collapse in 37% of the models. Even in the case of low future emissions, an Amoc shutdown happened in 25% of the models.

Scientists have warned previously that Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.

Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds

Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout
