2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report

I thought Leo was mostly calling out huge companies and industry for polluting? They are after all the majority of polluters by far compared to any individuals - rich or poor.

Then again just by living in most western societies on an individual level, even if we do try our best, we are essentially guaranteed to have a massively higher footprint than someone living in most third world countries.

I was talking in general, rich people polluting a lot, telling poor people, not to do things, that they do every day.

Even "the terminator" has a "climate initiative" - https://www.schwarzeneggerclimateinitiative.com/

Of course people forget he brough hummers to civilians,... And being a rich guy, caring for the environment, he could be driving a tesla (or something smaller, to use even less energy), but nope... he drives a monostrosity of a SUV (GMC Yukon - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10440521/Arnol... )

When the water and resource wars start (the final battles/world wars), I hope people realize who created this. I hope we don't just fight each other over water, and actually cannibalize the wealthy oligarchs, for all they've done to accerbate and accelerate things.

We may all die, but at least if they die first there'll be some justice... and maybe we get a few extra years without one of them polluting as much as 50 million people in a single year...

i'm really saddened that I have boys under 4, and they have to really live through some of the worst of this. It's going to be a much harsher world, and it already isn't very amicable to anyone who isn't already wealthy.
