What could go wrong?
We’ve all had days that go wrong. Sometimes spectacularly so. Sometimes several things go wrong at once, magnifying all of them as they interact.
Those paying attention will have long noticed that this defines climate chaos in the era of late stage crony capitalism overturning our planetary ecosystem. First came warnings from scientists, that were ignored. Then came real world events proving them right, as extreme weather events broke record after record, that also failed to spur any serious action. Now we’re in the megadisasters coming at us in clusters rather than one at a time stage, and yet the COP26 climate talks are clearly not going to progress past the token gesture stage.
It is guaranteed to get a whole lot worse.
So you know to expect that when you look at your phone in the morning that if a year’s worth of rainfall floods a town over only three days, when you learn more it’s also going to turn out to be the place that makes the iPhone you were saving for, or that a brutal heat dome isn’t just going to break record temperatures, but also worsen wildfires to wipe an entire town off the map.
