It's already too late. I say we speed up the process, so the earth can heal - once all of the people are gone. Whadaya say? Join me in a diesel truck race and a nice used tire bonfire? I feel like we should at least get to enjoy the end of mankind.

@william breen Or, you know, soak your T-shirt in cold water once in awhile. Those who have ever actually done a hard day's work in the Summer know how to deal with it. Ice is a thing that exists. Cold water is a thing that exists. They both do a great job of keeping a person cool - even in the hottest, swampiest States in the South. People are talking like most folks are going to have major problems in these situations but if that were true, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc would all just be graveyards. Florida is where many of the elderly go to retire and in the Summer, it's so damned humid you feel like you're drinking the air. If they can handle it, I'm pretty sure most folks can.

@BOIOLA08 What the hell are you on about? I don't give a damn about compensating for others. I'm gonna enjoy the world while I'm still here. Feel free to descend a cliff, if you're feeling charitable. I'll be sure to burn a tire in your honor.

Wait, what? The entire South of the US hits 31°C many times, every Summer. It's not a new thing, either. Are you kidding with this noise?

Nah, it's too late. We're doomed. There's really no point in postponing the inevitable. We had a good run but it's time for the earth to cancel us, so it can get back to normal.

"UN chief: World has less than 2 years to avoid 'runaway climate change' (TheHill) * This statement was made 4-years ago." Then anyone who does believe in tipping points (myself included) must believe that it's too late. We're already experiencing runaway climate change. The end is near. Why stress about the inevitable? We might as well go out with a bang, right? I say we all yank the catalytic converters off our cars, turn all of the aerosol cans into flamethrowers and aim them at a mountain of tires, feed Ex-Lax to the cows, and reopen the coal mines. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner the earth can recover from the human experiment, right? We can't fix it the right way, so I say we fix it the FUN way!

Nope. Mostly it's us who destroy other species.

No point, it's too late. You might as well switch your major to Gender-Nonconforming Feminist Bookmark Design. We're circling the drain. Knowing exactly why isn't going to keep you alive any longer. All 7+ billion of us could have doctorates in Environmental Science and it wouldn't change the fact that we've passed the point of no return. It's time to heed the words of The Artist Formerly Known As "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince." It's time to party like it's 1999.

I considered not taking you seriously when you ignored the multitude of reasons people are moving out of coastal States (besides financial). I decided to commit to it when you said that the Midwest is a safe area climate-wise. You geniuses have never heard of tornadoes? I mean, when you didn't mention them initially, I was confused. Then when you went on to call the Midwest safe from climate change issues, I knew you just had to be simple-minded.

Yes, please. Everyone move to Vermont, while President Obama enjoys his home on Martha's Vineyard. I'm sure the (once) most powerful man on earth - with access to information the rest of us aren't privy to - is just being reckless, right? After all, he would know whether climate change was as big of a deal as everyone says it is. Therefore, him moving to a small island must just mean he's suicidal...

You're just describing the US South in the Summer.

I mean, President Obama bought a home on Martha's Vineyard after his terms. It kinda seems like someone who is privy to all of the legitimate results of these climate studies would have a better understanding of the situation than the rest of us. Is he suicidal?
