[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=flyer]You definitely make some very good points, and as a person with degrees from MIT, I definitely could have made other career choices, but flying and real estate investment were in my blood, so, I went with those. Retired early from American Airlines during the pandemic, but will continue in real estate investment until we pass everything along to our kids
Knowing what I know now, my choices would have likely been different wrt aviation. Other than continuing to fly, in both our professional and personal lives, we’ve gone about as green as you can go, but that’s still just a drop in the bucket. Every person and every industry will need to be on board in order to save our planet, and profound changes will be required from each. Only time will tell if our efforts were successful.[/quote]
Unless each person gives up meat, cars, buying shit and having kids, we are screwed, which means we are screwed. I hate cars and I still need to use one next week.
Fuck it, let’s just get on with it and all go to heaven, where the supplies are plentiful. The suckers after us can deal with it.

since you mentioned “heaven” AND given this is a real estate forum FYI as I see things the parable of the vineyard owner,… is a theological way to view the topic of “climate change and drought” mismanagement
[quote]
…a landowner set forth a vineyard with great care and lavish attention
he then entrusted it to tenant farmers
at harvest time, he sought his share of the produce
yet instead of giving the owner what was due him, the tenant farmers refused, ridiculing, beating, and even killing the servants sent to collect his share
they end by killing the owner’s own son
when jesus asks his audience what they thought the owner would do in response, they replied that he would put the men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who would give him the produce at the proper time
obviously, they did not realize that in the parable the landlord was actually describing them,… and that such a judgment would be upon them unless they repented
