@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Also note that when "the economy collapses", many people will needlessly die, regardless of politics.

@jerrej@mastodon.social people are already needlessly dying, though. See: heatwaves, forest fires, floods. Mostly due to inaction from politicians & governments — there is only so much individuals can do. (Needless to say though, I understand your stand and respect it.)

@jerrej@mastodon.social @alicetragedy@mastodon.social "The economy collapses" is hyperbole. What would happen is the externalities of it being miserably or even dangerously hot would be taken back into the economic equation and start affecting "shareholder value" and "economic growth". If you don't make something Capital's problem, Capital will happily let it continue to be your problem until you die.
