3-6 months?
Weeks. Maybe. As soon as Trump needs a distraction.

Don't worry, they will.

Quote from: Chelagoras The Boulder on January 18, 2025, 02:48:13 AMso bad news is, unemployment has sidestepped having to pay me in a way so dumb it would overload my brain if i had to elaborate, so it looks like i'm gonna need to build up a nest egg before i can fly the coop. Goods news is i've been tentatively hired by a children's entertainment company to do birthday entertainment. so yeah I'm gonna be a birthday clown.

Quote from: chaotic neutral observer on January 13, 2025, 02:34:25 AMThis climate change thing isn't going to cause the sudden major catastrophe that you expected. Well, not just yet. Not to you.
The weather events will be more frequent and more severe, but they won't be anything new. The droughts will be dryer, the floods will be wetter, the forest fires will be bigger, and the hurricanes will hit harder and more often, but it's just the same-old, same-old, variations on a theme. Florida deserves what's coming to it, California has always been on fire, and India and Africa are too far away to bother about. The Atlantic ocean currents won't collapse for a while yet, and no one really cares if those moldy old Europeans freeze, anyway.
Reduced food production will drop the planetary carrying capacity by a few billion humans.
Grocery prices will go up, and selection will go down. Forget about lychees and pomelos, get used to potatoes and apples. If it isn't produced within a couple hundred km of where you live, don't count on it remaining available. Don't count on it even then; locality helps, but it's no substitute for a heavily-stocked arsenal and a healthy supply of gasoline.
Things can be done, and will be, but not nearly enough. You still depend on fossil fuels, don't you? If you haven't stopped, why would you expect everyone else to? You're waiting for Someone Else to fix everything? Well, they won't. They're not any more motivated than you are, and won't be until it's too late.
The people will demand an all-powerful leader to save them, or at least to stick it to the Other Guy, so politics will shift sharply to the right. This will work as well as it usually does. You'll see, Trump won't be that bad. Not like his successors.
But do not despair! There is hope!
Quote from: Faust on December 27, 2024, 05:24:35 PMThat's a good point they can do a whole pile of awful in a very short space of time and then blame the civilian advisor who was out of his depth.
I didn't think about that but they can pile that high
