I hope it doesnt work out for them. I kind of hope a bunch of them die in a fire because that's about what it's going to take for people to start understanding how serious all of this is.

Not really, so many died from COVID and look at us. They'd say the fire was Chinese.

Supposedly some people who were directly impacted did change their minds. Not many proportionally were in that situation though.

Canada just had the first case of human transmission in bird flu. Guess we'll get to grab some more data to show them.

My dream schadenfreude scenario is that a hurricane wipes out the Villages in Florida, and it’s bad because Trump privatized NOAA, so no one knew to evacuate, then when they’re picking up the pieces they get hit with a wet bulb event.

By "wet bulb event" do you mean when the wet bulb temperature exceeds around 94 F and you will literally eventually die without air conditioning? Because, yeah, that's incredibly scary.

We had a couple of those days in Texas this summer.

I don’t see much of a difference between them wanting punishment instead of harm mitigation and myself wanting punishment instead of harm mitigation. I will keep hoping for less overall harm.

This world is burning so fast that humanity can only slow it down if we put all of our resources towards it.

The largest nations on earth are all heavily armed dictatorships.

Many of them dying might actually be the minimal harm. While we cannot enact judgement on them in good conscience, we can hope they burn and watch it happen.

"You'll be just as bad as them!" is a bad sentiment.
