Climate Change? Nahhh ...

This one is going to be a very big problem. Shortages of water and food plus "They are not of my tribe" is going to trigger forced migration and war.

 

I'm told the real cost of climate change will be borne by a nice family in Kansas who has to install a solar panel on the roof of their carport.

The 100000000 refugees it sets loose is not the problem.

Look kids!
It looks like a penis, only smaller.

 

Dude in a massive pickup with Trump flags drove past us in a parking lot in Florida last week, repeatedly honking a tremendously loud and obnoxious air horn in the process.

I said to my wife, "I learned something new. People can drive with their heads up their ass."

Oh, for a flaming bag of dog poop at that moment.

 

Not only that, but that same family might have to put an EV in that carport rather than indulge their God given right to a pickup truck with a V8 under the hood.

 

“climate-triggered violence.”

So that’s what happened in New York Summer of ‘77.

Violence in hot weather: Will climate change exacerbate rates of violence in South Africa?

Evidence increasingly indicates that the propensity for interpersonal violence may increase in uncomfortably hot temperatures. Countries like SA, which already have high levels of violence and a rapidly warming climate, may be particularly vulnerable to this underappreciated consequence of climate change. There may be a considerable increase in the number of cases of homicide and other forms of violence per year should the mean temperature rise by 1°C, signalling the potential for an even greater burden of violence, centred on already vulnerable groups. Moreover, other consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather events, 'eco-migration' and conflict over food and water, could in themselves raise levels of collective violence and transnational conflict.[24]

Importantly, physical environmental triggers of violence, such as heat, are set against the backdrop of complex social processes, poor governance and historical circumstances that influence violence in SA.[3] Clearly, more detailed assessments are required of the linkages between heat and violence in SA, and interactions between these and other factors. Such analyses may have important practical implications for violence-prevention strategies in the country, and indeed globally.


Seven things you need to know about climate change and conflict

2. Climate change does not directly cause conflict, but...
Scientists generally agree that climate change does not directly cause armed conflict, but that it may indirectly increase the risk of conflict by exacerbating existing social, economic and environmental factors.

For example, when cattle herders and agricultural farmers are pushed to share diminishing resources due to a changing climate, this can stir tensions in places that lack strong governance and inclusive institutions.

 

I’m glad the scientists got together and decided climate doesn’t cause violence.
