It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

His idea is : As long as i and my rich friends live comfortably, fuck the next generation.
-
His children and the rich children will be more rich coz the disasters anyway!

explain your thought process

What's so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person's perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying "this is fine"
-
Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.

Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it's exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.
-
“…interstellar permanence, we are defective. Aaand, done. Time to hit reply.”
-
Humans won't go extinct easily, for how many things we lived through and how many conditions we coped with, I don't think nither climate change nor a third world war is enough for our extinction. LEMMiNO has an amazing video on this I recommend checking it out to see what I mean. Also u ok bro?
-
Well I'm enjoying life, and I daresay even in hundreds of years from now there will be people who enjoy theirs too
-
To live is to suffer. Study. You're almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.
-
I agree. I'm actually hoping for human extinction. We're a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.

Simple he is using the 4 stage strategy https://youtu.be/nSXIetP5iak?si=2mQDIfA0n9ZENrsF

This explains so much

"Climate change is real, and it's a good thing. I hate winter" - him, probably

"I hate ice, it's cold, it's icy, and it gets everywhere."

Never forget that a moron Republican senator brought a handful of snow onto the Congress floor to prove climate change was a hoax!
If the GOP senators are this moronic... Just imagine the idiots voting for them.... shudder
-
remember: climate change ain't just not fake, it also makes summers fucking unbearable and average winters a likely cause of frostbite! hooray!
we're all gonna die of our own stupidity in the next couple centuries... lest we do anything about it

“Sure I have cognitive disconnect. I just don’t care though.”
-
I mean, at one level it’s more logically valid to say we shouldn’t bother doing anything to compare combat climate change than saying climate change doesn’t exist.
It’s a weird level though.
-
To be fair, they never said that. Saying that efforts right now are awfully misguided and completely incompetent efforts to sell even more product, and increase consuption EVEN more, such as EV-s and so on, is not climate change denial...

-
Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.
Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.

Same as when you have a cavity but you don’t go to the dentist because you don’t have health insurance and it costs too much and it doesn’t hurt that much right now.
-
This is easily understandable even without cynicism
If one acknowledge a problem and feel 6 of 10 proposed solutions aren't worth the cost, they've opposed a majority of solutions

Let's put it this way, where I live we separate our rubbish between general, recyclable and glass but our council only recycles the glass and dumps the rest in the landfill with the general rubbish...
We see a lot of "do-gooders" out there pretending to do something while achieving the exact opposite. An example: most flagship smartphones now come without a charger but if you want the latest wireless charging tech they're pushing or even the latest fast charging, you're surely going to buy that extra on the same purchase. Now you have two separate devices that used to share the same package now generating twice the amount of rubbish. It makes no sense. These same smartphones now have glued on batteries that can't easily be removed, so both phones and batteries end up in the same bin, where the phones themselves should be going to a separate facility to extract the rate matels it has.
We the simpletons think that the little we do helps but reality is very different...

Follow the money

if global warming is real, why come it still gets cold?
-
Checkmate Scientists! 🤓
-
lol yeah
-
-
I've heard that caring about the earth and the people who live on it is communism and I won't stand for it.
-
If politicians lie, why come we still vote?
-
-
GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.
-
"Fuck you, got mine" summarizes it all. Burning planet isn't his problem if he can get a little more as it burns.
-
Is the title a EU 4 reference?
-
It's a reference to the movie Don't Look Up. Not sure what EU is.
-
Not sure what EU is.
EU 4 = Europa Universalis 4, a strategy game about 1444-1821. The poster above is likely referring to this in-game event:
All the options for this event yield the same negative result, and the devs often add new ones (as a joke). And "there is no comet, please don't look up!" does sound like the sort of stuff that those options say.
-
Europa Universalis IV, a grand strategy game by Paradox. Haven't played it though, so idk the reference
-
EU is the European Union, a group of countries in Europe that share common laws with each other.

Acceleracionists be like

Some of them say it exists, but “iT’s JuSt WeAtHeR!”
-
It makes sense to me - he might think that continued global warming is inevitable and the only choice is between enjoying life while he can and being an environmentalist chump who makes himself miserable while other people burn his share of fossil fuels anyway.
-
Down voted because you explained a meme. Lemmy is quickly becoming the reddit we all learnt to despise.
-
-
I thought we were past the point of no return so why bother
-
Scenario: you had time to avoid a head on car crash but now it's inevitable. You still have time to slow down enough to survive with moderate injuries. Soon it will be severe injuries at best, and eventually fatal without action.
Your children and grandchildren will see climate related mass migration and fight wars over clean water. If we don't do enough now, they'll just starve or choke to death instead, suffering greatly.
