We need to push back and make it unacceptable to say and act on anything remotely like this. “The Democratic pollster David Shor recently tweeted that he ‘would much rather live in a world where we see a 4 degree rise in temperature than live in a world where China is a global hegemon.’”
What a moron.
OOof.. saying the quiet part out loud: 1. USA is an oil hegemony 2. China has spent decades ending it, and they have.
Both pretty fucking awful but I reckon as between the two I’d surely go with not being roasted alive.
disgusting.
Speaks to the combined power of ideology and scientific illiteracy. That level of temperature change translates to unsurvivability for the vast majority of extant organisms.
Is that a choice?
Literally dying on this hill
There is no future under four degrees of warming. Life on earth ends as we know it.
