Wrong. There's always going to be a worse impact. There's no upper bound to how bad things can get.
- For humanity, there is. The impact we're facing right now is the end of civilization before the end of the century. The impact we're facing if we don't act within 3 years is extinction. The speed of these impacts may vary slightly, though.
Americans voted for Trump, so we all get to die. Yay.
So, are we going to organise a general strike to enforce change or should we start preparing for a different climate?
- Currently a general strike in the US is planned for May 1st 2028 to coincide with the UAW's contract ending. Unfortunately that's 3 years away, and I doubt climate policy is going to be a focus of that strike.
  Hopefully we can organize one sooner, but we'll see. Syndicalist unions independent of corporate control would be the most likely to initiate a general strike, so I'd recommend joining up and unionizing your job with them if you can.

  I also hope the rest of the world pushes for their own general strikes.
- Both
- The latter while hoping for the former
Too optimistic. We are already 15 years past the "3 more years" of the past.
You would think even the most selfish politicians and CEOs have already experienced some extreme events at this point.
- They will be safe in their air conditioned, walled, armed guarded, coal powered compounds. The rest of us are expendable to them.
  
  No one is safe. All will suffer on a dying planet.
  
  Well there's ones that are golfing all the time and laying in the sun on their yachts.
I've seen this one before. The world will fail.

Honestly, I’m done caring. I hope this bitch gets burnt to the ground. The humans that run the show have made living in this world miserable. I would rather die naturally and hope that there is some kind of second life or reincarnation.
- Go dig a hole then
Sooooo build a bunker and hoard guns and ammo, then?
- What do you plan to do with a hoard of guns and ammo? Get yourself killed so people can loot your bunker?
