Jessica is an optimist. I am the "crazy crank" holding a billboard with the message:
REPENT SINNERS.
THERE IS NO MORE TIME LEFT.
I am forecasting 800 million to 1.5 billion dying in the next 4-6 years.
I wrote this:
In Ukraine, we may be seeing the first war of the “Climate Crisis”.
I have followed it up with this piece.
Putin’s Strategy is coming into view. World War III has started.
By this Summer there will be famine in North Africa and the Middle East. By next Spring as many as 50 million starving people will be pressing into Europe.
Putin is counting on millions of starving climate refugees flooding into Europe. That’s part of his strategy.
Those starving people are Putin’s flank attack on Europe. That’s how ruthless Putin is.
Here's the science part.
Heat doesn't "just happen" - Where it's coming from and why that matters.
It's a lot to read, but yeah, 800 million to 1.5 billion dead over the next 5- years. With all the horror that's going to bring. Dust Bowl 2.0 in the US for sure.
Add to that, the oceans are dying.
The climate situation is much worse than you think.
When I wrote this piece, "Our politics and society are on a crash course with climate change" I was confident that a "Climate Crisis" would manifest by 2030. Right after I finished my Climate Report 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine and I realized that the Crisis has already started.
Here's one of the first dominoes in the cascade failure that's started.
Sudden agricultural output failures have started: The US Oat Harvest just crashed 40%
This is it. It's "Now or Never".
We all have to be hardline Climate voters as of now.
Everyone needs to get off their ass and vote Democratic.
BUT ONLY FOR "CLIMATE HAWK" CANDIDATES.
F-ck Progressive versus Liberal versus Centrist bullshit. The time for that is over. All of us, ALL OF US! Have to be single issue hard-line climate voters.
Now, this election, is the moment for a new generation of "Green Democrats" to start rising to power. Start working now to have a Climate Hawk on the ballot for every office in your state.
Primary every Democrat who is weak on the Climate Crisis. Seize power, purge the party, and make it the Green vehicle to power.
How we vote will determine how we respond to the Climate Crisis. We have to shut down Natural Gas completely, right now, no matter what it costs. We have to draft 18 yo's into a "Climate Corp" to do emergency work on the infrastructure. We have to stop making cars completely, G-d never promised everyone an EV.
Even now, there are policy choices we can make that will improve the situation. But not for much longer.
If you don't want your grandchildren to be hunter gatherers in a post-apocalypse hellscape, now is the moment to rise. You have a voice, you should use it.
DEMOCRATS - 22/24 VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
