Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We’re rapidly approaching several possible tipping points that will “rapidly” (over decades or a century) make many of the most populated parts of the world much less livable, disrupt agriculture on a global scale, cause mass die offs, disrupt water supplies and weather patterns.
The only thing “saving” us is the uncertainty: we’re not good at predicting them yet (since they’ve never happened in the history of the earth) so we don’t know how desperate we need to be
I agree with this statement. Those "tipping points" however can be walked back, by doing things like actually repairing the damage we've done, instead of just reducing the amount of damage.
I can make one prediction with near 100% certainty: As long as we maintain out current economic model, human life on this planet will likely cease to exist within the next couple hundred years.
They really can’t. They’re called tipping points because they’re likely irreversible, in society terms.
As we approach these tipping points we’re quickly running out of things we can do, and the scariest part is we can’t even predict when it’s too late and probably won’t until well afterword
Most all of these can be prevented, and even reversed, if we: Drastically reduce our consumption based lifestyles, reforest places like the Amazon (Our planet's lungs), and get creative with other methods (ie, algae cultivation on a large scale).
But, these all require abolishing capitalism, in order to be done.
