But what can you do. The general public here is just as stupid as in murica since most of the smart and brave people died in ww2 or were poached by the allies and russians to teach them physics.
So I'm just getting ready to be thrown in the gulag when the morons will eventually start blaming covid vaxx sceptics for inflation and shortages, climate change and joggers.

Yeah, wood and coal. So what. That's what people used for centuries to keep themselves warm and everyone was just fine. A little uncomfortable but you're not going to die. Put a sweater on and stop whining.

Tucker was right about most of that, but global warming is very real. And it is possible to have a green economy, just difficult. We need some innovations and a whole lot more nuclear tech to do it.

It's not self flagellation. It really needs to happen, and honestly if you don't want a bunch of people migrating north, then we are gonna have to address this.

There is no nice solution to climate change, but pretending it isn't happening is also not a solution.
You will certainly see more nuclear tech in the future though, particularly given the recent geopolitical issues with Russia.
You know...assuming we don't have a global thermonuclear war before that...
Incidentally, that could solve the climate issue lmao.

not saying prices won't go up at all, just somewhere in the middle probably
it's only the actual population that's getting screwed at full cost smh

How about Democracy Now w/a piece on the need to end the war in Ukraine?
Anatol Lieven: Ukraine Has Become a Bloody Stalemate. We Need a Settlement to End the Fighting.
A UK piece on the cost of living crisis there. A monthly energy price cap is forecast to be over 3,700 BP in October, onward to near 6,000 BP by next April. Meanwhile the food bank says that people are already refusing simple fresh foods saying that they don't have the means to cook the food [no gas].

‘It keeps me awake at night’ - how the cost of living crisis is affecting everyday life
Or how about this piece on homelessness in Hungary? Watched it last week. The government owns thousands of empty flats, but they aren't letting people move into them saying that they don't have the funds to fix the apartments up. For people who thought homelessness was just a US problem.

That 10 trucks are waiting In line in Poland supposedly for coal? That a random polish man that probably doesn't even exist said this is totally worse than Stalin?
That absurd claim that 70% of UK restaurants are closing (strong sources and proof btw)
Couldn't watch more than 10 minutes of the video since it was nothing more than completely over the top doomer hyperbole and straight up lies.
BRB one German guy invested in a biomass company OMG THIS MEANS EVERY GERMAN WILL BE BURNING FIREWOOD LIKE IN THE MIDDLE AGES!!!
BTW I invested a huge amount of money in a bamboo biomass company, it's nothing like burning firewood at all.
Just Google "bamboo biomass energy" and you'll find dozens of articles about it, it's a very efficient and sustainable energy source.

2. We have to remember that food is heavily commoditized.When talking about "food shortages" in a global economic scale it means that food as a commodity in large scale "food" production will be impacted. Ie less twinkies made with cheap Russian wheat will be produced.It doesn't mean that people will be fighting duels over a tomato. Currently we have a huge global food surplus, we have more than enough to feed the entire planet and then some. People still starve because food is a commodity
Same goes for fertilizer, less commodified agroindustrial monocrpos will be produced. Less sorghum for cattle, less wheat for twinkies, less gmo corn for syrup etc

2. Strong privilege. Millions of people survive on those commoditized grains around the world and those grains are also used to raise meat animals to provide a diet with more protein.

We aren't not going to be able to have a system where everyone gets everything they want.
- gotta include nuclear base power
- more walking, biking, mass transportation
- local food production and permaculture
- less global trade [energy cost of transport]

Humans are going to use all of the available carbon based energy that exists assuming they can get access to it.
- it will all be burned for energy
- it will eventually run out or be impractical to access [same same]
- we as a species should be smart about how we use what remains

And, being honest here, prior to the covid pandemic/vaccine/mandates I too believed that of course that must be the correct hypothesis [greenhouse gases/CO2] because the "majority of scientists are in agreement".
Now I think that is about as significant as "4 out of 5 dentists recommend". Because the majority are likely to be financially incentivized, intellectually lazy, or simply dumbasses.

Have you also considered that climate change may be:
- Outside of human control?
OR
- Something hubristic apes shouldn't be f*cking around with?
Either way we SHOULD stop polluting our home planet and attempt to find an equilibrium re:available energy.

Wanna improve air quality? Hey, how about instead of wrecking the global economy we provide people in poor nations with alternative means to cook their food?
- solar ovens
- community stoves
- eventually clean energy/nuclear power
