    Hey look, that FO stage of FAFO is well underway. Hold onto your butts people, there’s going to be some serious self punishment for our generations of polluting the world for personal convenience and money.

        Very much so. It’s completely unjust and we (me included) have been beyond wasteful in spending the Co2 (and other climate altering materials) irresponsibly for far too long.

      The poor and low-polluting people of the world are being punished for the actions of the wealthy and highly polluting.

        So very true. The vast majority of the climate damage has come from the US, China, and Europe, but more equatorial regions are going to be crushed by the heat for an unknown time. The cost to humanity is likely going to be beyond anything our models have projected.

        If they haven’t yet, they need to start emigrating north ASAP before the borders start shutting down (and they will).

      The Pakistanis who can’t afford air conditioning and have to do manual labor outside weren’t the ones who FA.

        Percentage wise, Pakistanis and other peoples living in equatorial regions definitely aren’t the major contributors to this catastrophe, but they’re going to be the spearhead of the FA phase. It’s going to be one of the most unjust repercussions of the actions by the most industrialized and wealthy nations upon the less wealthy ever in the history of mankind (and maybe the end of mankind in the process).

          Remember this the next time you get the chance to punch a racist in the face who thinks brown Islamic people are poor because they have “backwards tribal beliefs” or that the Middle East is always a hopeless mess because people there are dumb and can’t work together.

          Life is short, you could die in a car accident tomorrow, who knows? Don’t miss your chance while you have it.

      And the disgusting irony that the ones being punished are the younger generation. I’m GenX. I apologize to my kids profusely for the mess I had a hand in making. It’s not getting fixed until it gets a lot worse. I’m scared for the future.
