What happens when we're in a pandemic situation with hundreds of thousands of immigrants and multiple hurricanes running through the southeast while wildfires raging across the west? We can handle one of these things at a time, maybe two, but three results in basic services failure for months if not longer. How do you think people will manage 3 months without access to potable water and electricity or fuel? This is why we sound the alarm about global warming. This is what is coming. Consider yourselves warned.

The [COVID lockdowns of 2020 temporarily lowered our rate of CO2 emissions](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18922-7/figures/1). Humanity was still a net CO2 gas emitter during that time, so we made things worse, but did so more a bit more slowly. That’s why a [graph of CO2 concentrations](https://keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/) shows a continued rise.
[Stabilizing the climate means getting human greenhouse gas emissions to approximately zero](https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-stop-as-soon-as-net-zero-emissions-are-reached). We didn’t come anywhere near that during the lockdowns.

We hire the immigrants to clean up the mess and tax billionaires to pay for it. At least that’s what Joe will do.
Trump will shoot the homeless, deport 10 million brown people regardless of citizenship status, and put gay people in camps.
Yup. That’s what we’re talking about.
Add to that famine and throw in some nukes.
Simmer gently for five hundred years and see what remains.
It’s over.
