It’s crazy to me that the highest populated countries that are most affected by it by that article (China and US) are contributing the most to it (unchecked capitalism) and still refuse see their connnection to their own discomfort

Not a China shill but I’m pretty sure they see the connection and have been investing heavily in renewables.
Bit of a stretch to say that they are "most affected by it" when there are pacific islands that are going to be sinking off the map pretty soon.
“Undeniably”. Ha. I wish. I’m sure people will still manage to deny climate change, especially those most responsible.
So what? Not like there is anything anyone of of us can do about it. And our politicians don't give a F as long as oil companies pay their bills.
Given capital strikes are a thing, simply not taking money doesn't mean they are immune the influence of those entrenched interest groups. But it's certainly better than outright corruption.
PetroDragonic Apocalypse incoming
undeniably. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.
climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough
Alright. So. Now what?
Now you work to change the rules of society so that we can stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and limit the amount of additional warming we see.
The current heat right now is pure torture.
