Humans have practiced agriculture for ~10000 years. It has certainly not been warmer than this in that time period. The last time it might have been this warm was about 125000 years ago. And we're just getting started.

They can try, but India and China produce their own food and have plenty of people willing to sell them fossil fuels (ie. Russia).

They can maybe starve out Egypt and a few other African and Asian countries. And they're going to try and starve out the developed world until voters have had enough.

Exactly. I still can't find out if Ivermectin helps with Covid or not, because anyone who actually tried to study it got squashed flat by the pharma industry and the bought and paid for FDA, AMA and media as an impediment to selling (and indeed mandating) new experimental treatments which would be much more profitable.

It won't be up to us. It's getting to be impossible to buy a manual due to fuel efficiency mandates. This year is the last that VW will manufacture a manual Golf GTI, for instance, arguably the most popular hot hatch in the world. And my SUV is a Subaru, largely because it was nearly the only crossover I could buy in a manual.

Oh, sure, Miami's toast. But its water supply will be gone long before it's actually underwater.

Florida will not be underwater in a century. In 500 years, maybe. The ice sheets just don't melt that fast, regardless of how much future melting we have already committed to.

Indeed. Cyclist runs stop sign, gets hit. Happens every day.

I don't about the US, but a 10 kWh battery is over $10K in Canada. Just the battery, not installation or charge controllers or whatever else you need.

Sold out to the same ~10,000 families who always ran the country but who used to pretend to care more about how it was run.

Yeah well Canada as a whole is even less than that.

Seriously. Pharma, housing, veterinary clinics, dentist clinics, and now hospitals.

rofl. I loved Space 1999 as a kid.

Nah, they don't want healthcare. "Free Meth" would work better.

Long-term consequences? It's a barren rock. If launches were safer we should send all our hazardous waste there.

These places have roads. It's just that there are places where it's 300 miles to the next gas station. And no, the gas station is never going to install a supercharger because they're lucky to get the 100 amps of power they have now, 90% of the time.
