What kind of world are the Orange and his puppet master billionaires building?

Are we headed for slavery, extinction, the matrix or some other post apocalyptic future?

How do these despots think that food arrives?

At the moment it seems they’re hell bent on global destruction.

    The hour is later than we know regarding climate change. Authoritarianism is the only way for governments to maintain control for as long as possible, protecting the powerful.

    Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.

      Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.

      I wouldn’t be so sure. History is filled with examples of power grabs that endured for generations.

        The ability to grow, store, and distribute grains at scale is necessary for the continued existence of civilization. Climate change will destroy this in short order. Once that ability is gone, so will be civilization.

        There is no tomorrow.

          Countries like the PRC are making vast strides in the way of fighting climate change and emissions. We won’t be able to avoid all of the consequences of climate change, but we can minimize the damage and develop methods of environmental engineering.
