What do you think their lives will be like after the climate change cascade?

In South Africa, the law determines that if something’s labeled “Product of South Africa” it can’t have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).

“Produced in South Africa” can have imported ingredients - and I’ve been boycotting almost all of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It’s easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles; tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

While the temperature forecast is for 33 ºC, the heat index in the capital yesterday was up to 41. Forecasts for the next 2 days, are up to 40 on the heat index in the capital. Yesterday the heat index was over 40 in several other areas, with a maximum of 45. https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/weather/heat-index

If you don’t want to be complicit in causing a mass extinction event by making the biosphere unlivable, then by far the most important thing to do is to not contribute to human overpopulation which is the biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change as well as the biggest other atrocities.

“Aid organizations the world over scrambled to prove their work saved lives, seeking permission from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to continue operating.”

Maybe those who proved they were doing good, were the ones then to get the axe. The cruelty is the point - especially I’ve found, by the kind of people who claim to be Christians. Maybe lying by saying ghosts and souls and gods and heaven are real, it inculcates lying into all aspects of a peoples’ actions.

Rubio’s lies, and these actions are helpful in getting Trump more support from the kind of people who voted for him. The deaths and cruelty is the point.

It’ll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

• Luke 16:13 “You cannot serve both God and money.”
• Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor”
• Matthew 5:39 “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”
• Matthew 5:44 “love your enemies”

So there’s no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?

Try “to function as a society” when the biosphere becomes unlivable. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced, is a good thing.

If someone does something psychotic a lot, does that make it ethical for someone-else to do it even once?
