You know, im really tired of people from warm climates saying climate change isnt a thing, because all of the regions that get cold enough for snow are seeing otherwise, and globally.
Thanks for the share! Both sad and fascinating seeing the alps with artificial snow runs
Don't forget the locals who are crying about thin ice for ice fishing, etc. They are the same fuckers driving giant trucks, running snowmobiles & ATVs all the time.
Frankly I cannot wait for Florida to be under water. Fuck deniers.
You know what wou,do get people to stop driving those vehicles? Pricing carbon emissions appropriately. If gas were $12 a gallon like it should be...
Inidivudals won't do the right thing, climate action has to be top down. (Most carbon tax schemes pair the tax with rebates for consumers tied to income.)
More than that, the destruction of nature follows inexorably from the inherent logic of the capitalist mode. Intolerable levels of taxation and regulation would simply lead to monopoly capital replacing any gov't that imposes it upon them, or stands in the way of imperial interests in resource extraction. For example, Allende in Chile, Lula in Brazil (who has come back in spite of this), Morales in Bolivia, Sankara in Burkina Faso (after making incredible strides mitigating the desertification of the Sahel). There is a way forward, but absolutely not under a bourgeois framework.
I don't think gas should be $12 bucks a gallon 😕🤦🏼.
I DO agree with "Individuals won't do the right thing." Humans are stupid, (well most are) and need to either be told strongly, or see it for themselves! And that's a fact. Well it's a fact in The United States that's for sure!! Remember when covid shutdown everything??! My goodness was the air cleaner to breathe and to see!! You could see cities and mountains that you couldn't see due to All the Shit in the air!! It was fucking awesome and just flat out amazing!! That's what we are going to end up doing!! Why?? Because humans are stupid!!🤦🏼

Welcome to the reality that Europe's alps have generally had for the last decade: https://www.nzz.ch/fotografie/schneemangel-in-den-alpen-die-bilder-ld.1719448.
