This is very wonky so I'm putting it here rather than General Discussion. [View all]



There are two parallel time lines running. Almost all of us are totally immersed in the time line I will name, Crazy Town. Crazy Town is 24/7 chaos. We can't get away from it. But there exists small groups of experts that live in the time line I will name, Reality. This video is from Reality. In Reality it is understood that the accelerating rate of use of fossil fuels will render the planet unrecognizable and uninhabitable. Those are the facts.

In Crazy Town virtually no one in power will even talk about Reality. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the few exceptions. He details how a vast array of systems, man made and organic, all interact with one another. The effects of climate change causes each of these systems to become more unstable, and that makes every adjacent system more unstable. Eventually systems collapse and take civilization with them.

If you like numbers this worth your time.

Thank you Senator Whitehouse
