Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson …a near "instant" change to the climate resulting in such things as Mammoths being flash frozen while they were chomping down on their dinner
^ what an extraordinary unsubstantiated claim. Since you didn't bother to back it up with anything, I googled "flash frozen mammoth". Here is the first unsurprising result:
Younger Dryas Myth-Busting: Flash-Frozen Mammoths EditionThe notion of “flash-frozen” mammoths is so wide-spread, that in some circles (particularly Art Bell, Immanuel Velikovsky, Charles Hapgood, Randall Carlson fans) it is considered common knowledge. It is often cited as “evidence” to support claims that a sudden catastrophic event plunged the Earth back into an “ice age,” instantly freezing Mammoths and other megafauna, while they were eating.
Since you don't believe anything you haven't personally verified, can you explain why the research linked above is incorrect and how you instead know for a fact that mammoths really were flash frozen?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Energy executives in the UK have warned the government that the country faces the prospect of mass civil unrest as a result of people being unable to afford their heating and electricity bills this winter.
The government is being asked to approve “radical” COVID-style bailouts for small businesses which face total ruination as a result of soaring energy costs.
“Energy company bosses have warned ministers they fear civil unrest if nothing is done to cushion the blow of rising bills,” reports the Telegraph.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

GTFO
Denial occurs after we have taken in information and consciously reject it to avoid an uncomfortable truth. William Catton termed this behavior ‘ostrichism’ or the strategy of sticking your head in the figurative sand and expecting an issue to go away or persistent belief nothing will change and refusal to face facts.
A recent theory of mind proposes it may have been central to our development as a species. Ajit Varki and Danny Brower’s “Mind Over Reality Transition” theory provides significant reasoning for our trajectory to date. They suggest we have succeeded as a species due in large part to an evolved denial of reality, but this behavior is now a disadvantage and preventing a majority of us from recognizing and acting on systemic issues such as climate change.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Fertilizer is one of the greatest uses of energy. It can be hard to recognize the increased cost in fertilizer production because from production to field application to seed sown to crop harvest, etc, etc can be multiple years.
To truly see the impact will take a few years but many people are already predicting massive famine and reduced crop yields as a result of high energy costs and the resulting supply crunch in fertilizer.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

"Whether or not these requirements are realistic or achievable is directly linked to external factors like inflation, charging and fuel infrastructure, supply chains, labor, critical mineral availability and pricing, and the ongoing semiconductor shortage,” he said. “These are complex, intertwined and global issues well beyond the control of either [The California Air Resources Board] or the auto industry.”

2022-08-23 at 11:03 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastFighting climate change is wildly popular, but most Americans don't know that
The study showed a link between consuming conservative media and high levels of misperception, even when controlling for personal politics. The researchers also found that living in a red state, and having less exposure to climate marches or protests was linked to a greater discrepancy between estimates of popularity and actual popularity of climate policies. According to the paper, supporters of climate action outnumber opponents two to one, but Americans falsely perceive nearly the opposite to be true. Sparkman said that this underestimation of support is problematic because people tend to conform to what they think others believe, which would weaken actual support for such policies.

The rainfall in some areas qualifies as a 1-in-1,000-year flood. Such events could become more frequent in the coming decades as the effects of climate change worsen. Climate scientists have found that warming temperatures increases the frequency of bouts of extreme precipitation.

The wealthy elite of the world are doing this intentionally, yes. They are intentionally killing the masses.
The wealthy see the impending collapse coming, and realize that they need extensive wealth to have hope of comfortably surviving it. They need their climate-controlled bunkers with crop fields and access to water. They need money to pay scientists and technologists to study how to stave off the worst effects of the collapse. They need to hoard food and resources and do anything to ensure their families' survival.
What they are doing is a strategic transfer of wealth from us to them at a feverish pace because they know the collapse is coming soon.
Survival of the Richest|The wealthy are plotting to leave us behindThat’s when it hit me: At least as far as these gentlemen were concerned, this was a talk about the future of technology. Taking their cue from Elon Musk colonizing Mars, Peter Thiel reversing the aging process, or Sam Altman and Ray Kurzweil uploading their minds into supercomputers, they were preparing for a digital future that had a whole lot less to do with making the world a better place than it did with transcending the human condition altogether and insulating themselves from a very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migrations, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is really about just one thing: escape.

And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little plastic. The planet will be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake.
