Oh, ouh. Looks like we can only choose from 6-10 on the “how fucked are we?” Scale. I have a feeling we are gonna end up en route to a full 10 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
dude betewen this and that graph of daily temperatures at various points in the year (it’s like +5C in the american southwest over like anything ever recorded in march and I can confirm the weather is fucking crazy here (it was in the 30s, then 80s, back to 30s-40s, tomorrow is a low of 36 and a high of 87) and the fact that brussel sprouts are already 2x in price due to weather events in california and apparently squash is up in price due to weather in florida and apparently the price for the very basic pellets used as feedstock to make like literally all heavy and light plastics doubled after already rising from idfk what to 15 cents a pound (so at the time I read it was 30 cents a pound)
i think we are really truly and tremendously fucked and that is even if they don’t start dropping nukes over the strait which doesn’t even matter anymore in preventing this because all the damage is baked in by the destroyed infrastructure and interrupted supply
and not a single person I work with seems concerned at all and I feel so frustrated I want to scream. I think they all just assume they’re insulated from famine because we serve food but what if there’s no food to fucking serve
