    The lack of snowpack in the US plus ocean temps that are already 6σ over historical averages are probably going to make for an “interesting” summer. As a result, I suspect crop failures are going to get a lot more coverage this year.

      This is the real scenario, right here. Everyone is so focused on increased disaster occurrences that it feels like this is invisible - until its not. Last summer Alberta was under drought conditions, and overall crop yields were 67% of the 5-yr average.

      Less and less snowpack means less and less water to deal with worse and worse drought conditions.

    Violent chaos in the US. One of three things will happen:

    • The Supreme Court sides with the states that want to remove Trump from the ballot. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
    • Trump gets on the ballot but he loses to Biden again. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
    • Trump gets on the ballot and wins. Trump and the GOP take that as a mandate to govern with impunity, and run roughshod over the country.

    I’m gonna find my g spot, because there’s only so many places I can look.
