They can use those record profits to buy up what's left of the food for themselves and their immediate families. Problem solved.

If only there was some recent event that cause a massive drop in CO2 emission that could be pointed to in the last let’s say 3-5 years. Something like have massive amounts of people being home and not driving to work every day. But I can’t think of anything like that that has happened recently at all /s

or a famine.

Eventually not handling this will mean deaths, not just loss of $$$

The 2011 Arab Spring happened partly because of food shortages and rising costs.

I mean, also the dictators and junk, but yeah...

Scientists knew it was coming *decades* earlier than that, and it was even part of the popular consciousness too, but the fossil fuel industry has been fighting against that knowledge the entire time. Cooperative media, corrupt politicians and even religious zealots have helped them obscure the facts and muddy the waters about the issue.

I grew up hearing about human-caused global warming in the *1970s*. There was a great dystopian sci-fi movie that had climate change as one of its main plot drivers called Soylent Green. It came out in 1973 and had big stars in it. Ordinary people were worried about it even back then.

It shows how successful the interests that stood to benefit from ignoring the problem have been. Even now, when it can no longer be ignored, we are still arguing about it. Before, they said it wouldn't happen. Now they say, even if it is happening, it wasn't caused by us.

I've taken to using a "mowing rotation" of sorts for my yard. I only mow down the front/sides or the back, never both at once. It preserves the clovers, dandies, strabebbs, and wild daisies for the bugs and such. That way they always have a spot to get what they need. It's such a simple act but it really seems to have made a difference in the amount of pollinators I see around my house.

Leaf blowers are the worst. Like dude, they just blow it around. The fucking wind will undo it.

Why the hell are they not leaf suckers?

I work a side hustle gardening for this elderly lady and the amount of bug spray (multiple types) and animal deterrent she makes me use is sickening. But who cares right? Her garden is pristine. /s

If you're not rolling coal, are you really even helping bro?

lol. Trying to explain to a conservative that socialism does not mean communism and that thier whole political grant support scheme is in fact a socialist core idea.

Name and shame? Almost every republican.

It's the natural cycle of humanity. One generation fights a war for their rights, the next generation gets to enjoy their newfound rights and the peace following the war, and the next generation grows complacent letting things deteriorate until the new war starts.

Capitalism favors those who own the means of production. This is hardly a surprise

PPP loan fraud and government farm subsidies funded by urban taxpayers are a hell of a drug.

You can understand that I am being sarcastic, reading the crop reports, they always make it sound dire, because they can hopefully get a better price if buyers are worried about getting enough produce. Not saying that a flooded field, with a crop dying, is something to not be miserable over. I feel like those well off farmers have a role that we subsidize because we know that they are taking on risks with their farm and our food supply at stake.

Well they get multimillion dollar government farming subsidy checks every year. But it not welfare cuz they’re farmers not minorities and so it different

Yeah everyone knows Biden personally turned off the AC when he got into office, that’s why it’s so hot. Decades of rampant unchecked capitalism DEFINITELY had nothing to do with it.

Do you think Biden controls the weather

Wait, if you're a maga chud you probably do. Is it the Jewish space lasers at it again?

If you think that's a good reason to think that conservatives are better on this topic, you really need some classes on climate (change).

Like what? Serious question here. What specifically do you think republicans have done to help the climate change issue?

Democrats haven't had real control of the government since the early Obama years, and they squandered that on watering down what could have been significant health-care reform due to a gripping fear of offending Republicans. (And it worked out so well for them.)

For Democrats to actually accomplish anything, they need the presidency AND a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, enough to make the Manchins and Sinemas irrelevant. That's a very, very tough row to hoe.

Have you liked at how each party votes on the issues that would “move the needle”?

Get back to me once you do.

Both sides aren’t the same.

Dems being blamed for Republicans’ ratfuckery yet again

The IRA wasn’t big?

You can't just tell us that and not include recipes.

I make a massive pot of chili with dried lentils that’s really good. Would use up some of those beans too.

It’s gonna be a spicy pepper year, that’s for sure!

Politicians who vote against solutions to fix those climate issues do.

The resource wars are upon us men!

Yeah, I lived in SW Colorado for 3 years and did a bit of environmental science while there. The area was in a years long mega-drought. Pretty dire all around.

Until is 110 degrees outside and all of your plants wither and die from heat stress 😩

Fair enough. I just find bait titles funny. Gotta spell out the propaganda a bit for the literary challenged

Its only the hottest month of the year\*

\*may not apply to all US regions.

Im not giving nbc a click to find out which ones this is about lol
