Not sure MAGA cares what the constitution sez nor am i sure the supreme court cares 'cept when it helps their ideology.
+3c from the Industrial Revolution is not impossible.From Industrial Revolution. We're at +1.5c and accelerating.
Actually I suggested Beryl would land as a cat5:
It actually made landfall on Grenada as a high cat4, hit cat5 after that, before finally weakening prior to hitting Texas. I'll note that I never said it was going to hit TX as a cat5, though that has more to do with the path the thing took than anything else. If it had veered north to LA/MI it would have absolutely fucked that coast up.
My point still stands, it was the earliest cat5 on record, the strongest we've seen before JUL, and multiple-record-breaking. We should be grateful that southern wind shears weakened it so that it only killed 73 people, instead of a few thousand.

Bad take man, relying on someone else to fix the problem but totes sure they will, will leave you and yours holding the bag, because you aren't planning to face any actual consequences.
Don't get me wrong; Beryl was indeed a monster. And you're right that it set records and is a bad omen for the future. But you said in the hurricanes thread it would hit Texas a Cat3, when none of the relevant models had that.
We're in broad agreement that climate change will fuck shit up in a lot of places. It's not a bad take at all; clearly modified human behavior is not going to save us in time. So it's either technology to bend the warming rate curve, or economic ruin and social chaos. Ultimately humanity can be pretty clever when it comes down to literal life and death.
Even if we rapidly electrified transportation (as Norway already has), that puts a dent in the problem but won't be sufficient. I just don't see any way out that doesn't involve a LOT of carbon sequestration. What I wrote is not particularly optimistic or confident that the problem will be solved, but merely mitigated.
I literally quoted my statement from that thread, I said it would probably make landfall on something as a cat5 and it very nearly did.
That's the camp I'm in.

Looking like the Constitution page on WhiteHouse.gov is gone so that trends correctly.. https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/
They are expecting it not outright hoping for violence from the left. Gives them plausible cover for Insurrection Act or any other heavy handed approaches they want to take.
If it wasn't over already, it will be extra over at that point. Sure there may still be random acts of violence from the left even after the government clamps down, but it won't change anything except further entrench the people already controlling government.
Last I checked, Texas is not part of the Yucatan. You forgot an old post, it's okay:

Funny that we're somehow in the same camp when you gave me grief that I don't expect our policies and actions to save us from climate change in time; but perhaps technology will forestall a worst case scenario. That was all I was saying (mainly that we're past the point of hoping to come close to the Paris accords, we're fully in the mitigation phase from now on).
In some ways, it's a lot like staring into the barrel of Trump 2.0. Yes, we both think it's gonna fucken suck. Do we wallow in misery for the next four years? Or do we eventually regroup and fight again in 2026 and beyond?
Fair enough, missed that one.
What actions do you suggest either of us be taking to avert climate change?
I honestly don't even know what you're arguing anymore. We both know that on an individual level, what you or I do doesn't matter unless we own a private jet.* To clarify, when I used the phrase "policies and actions," that implies on a national or global level. We know that's the scope of the problem.
Yet you castigated me earlier because I said people suck, so hopefully better technology can make a difference. If you're convinced social chaos and economic ruin is already baked into the 2050 pie, then there's really nothing to hope can change or talk about anyway.
* It's a lot like voting, one vote means zilch. But 77M votes for DJT means a felon has been reelected for POTUS. Collectively, human activity will determine the trajectory of climate change. Whether that's +2c up to +4c within a few decades, there is a difference. If we lose Greenland or a hunk of Antarctica, then all bets are off.
FWIW we are mostly in the same camp, albeit with different conclusions.

I'll add a prediction: within a week the first US born citizen will be deported, and within a month Mexico will have to set up a refugee/support program to get US citizens back home.
Elise Stefanik is a fucking dumbass. Today's Israel is not the same Israel that is refered to in the bible. Today's Israel didn't exist until 1948.
I hate to say it, but I suspect we will see violent confrontations with people killed within the first 30 days, not just illegal immigrants, but legal immigrants, US citizens, and other's who have done nothing wrong.

Remember the GOP goal is to get all the Jews back to Israel so Jesus can come back.

I don't think US politicians should want to draw borders based on biblical times...
Borders don't matter once God has raptured you because you fulfilled biblical prophecy.

Congrats to all that refused to watch shitstains inauguration. We got a small victory
Estimated 24.6 million TV viewers watched inauguration coverage, smallest audience since 2013

What a huge disappointment he is. Sometimes non maga is not quite enough. My effing congressman pulled the same shit, Jeff van Drew. Started as a “Democrat” before instantly going full MAGA. I sure hope I live to see the day he gets tossed out on his ass. The mid term backlash in 2026 would be a great time to see it happen.

I can commiserate. My former governor is Jim Justice. Or, as I refer to him, Boss Hogg.

This seems to be happening a lot and is a failure of the DNC and their ability to properly vet candidates.
Van Drew was supposedly a Democrat for 30 years or so at the state level. It was a very odd thing. A little like RFK Jr I suppose.
