And this is why trump keeps ranting about greenland. It's not just a distraction. He wants to invade greenland and canada, and he wants global warming to accele

  I'm amazed that these people have no advisors briefing them about Jet Stream collapse or the release of methane as permafrost melts etc. No one's gonna be mining anything up there and if they are there won't be much of a market anywhere to sell it in.

    To expand, permafrost melting emits CO2 equivalent that is 100s of years of modern human activity. It’ll obviously happen in less than 100 years.

      And that's just what we know about. There are still sources that we're discovering. Our sources don't match what we measure yet, which means it's likely worse than we know.

  Spot on. The trouble with accelerationists is that they assume they know what will happen. The French revolution was pretty much unleashed with that mindset. Upper class figures wanted to get rid of the nobility/royalty monopoly on power. They thought they could profit from a new arrangement. Then the terror began. I'm afraid this is what we're in for here. The oligarchs think they can steer this. They want to speed up climate change, treat the world to some shock therapy and come up on top. If they're right, we're screwed. If they're wrong, we're even more screwed.
