Here's a screenshot of the most astonishing & distressing page from the private JP Morgan report

that I have been able to help leak. “[It] is clear that the earth is on an unsustainable trajectory. Something will have to change at some point if the human race is going to survive”

1. Thank you for posting this! It is truly a climate emergency.

And the sooner we realize it, the better our chances are for good survival.

2. yw my dear Peggy!

3. Here's a critically important post, but will barely be viewed here.

Too bad it wasn't a cute puppy post or one about how Bernie couldn't be elected because he shops at the wrong clothing store.

Even if people really understood where we are, I wonder if we could pivot to a better world?

Ever seen this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Or read this short story?

4. I will check both of those out, thank you.

I live in Sweden (Stockholm proper) and once again we have hardly had any snow all winter so far. A few year back we had a winter here that had no snow that stuck at all.

5. The landscape of the moon.

That's our future.

6. It might be a narrow view of the consequences. "Human" is just one species.

If the air changes so it can't sustain humans, then it probably extinguishes all mammals, all birds, most insects, most reptiles.

Mass extinction events have occurred in the past, and will in the future. But there's no point in hurrying one along, if we can stop it.

It may clear the way for new, unimaginable life forms, a neo-Cambrian era.

Does J.P. Morgan have any investment recommendations for the post-humanity age?

7. Well at least they are waking up

after spending so much money and time to keep people in ignorance about climate change

[Squinch]

8. Too bad the candidate with the greatest record of practical achievement on climate has become

everybody's favorite whipping boy.

[Voltaire2]

9. The elites plan on a world with

a much smaller human population. Their plan is for most of us to just forking die.

11. And they'll kill us if they have to...

It's part of the prospectus.

14. Quick! To the Survival Pods in Patagonia and Alaska, fellow bankers!!

Nice of JP Morgan to, I don't know, is "tune in" the phrase I'm looking for?

15. IKR?

16. Spooky Frank tried to capitalize on the situation a decade ago...

The Really Creepy People Behind the Libertarian-Inspired Billionaire Sea Castles

Written by Mark Ames / AlterNet June 2, 2010

Excerpt...

While neither Bush nor the Bin Ladens are principals in the Frontier Group, its founding director, Frank Carlucci, is a name they know well, and you should too. Carlucci ran the Carlyle Group as its chairman from 1989 through 2005, right around the time that the wars started going undeniably bad, and floating castles started to look like a viable plan. But Carlucci’s past is much weirder and scarier than most of us care to know: whether it’s his strangely timed appearances in some of the ugliest assassinations and coups in modern history, or serving as Carter’s number two man in the CIA, and Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Defense, if Frank Carlucci (nicknamed "Creepy Carlucci" and "Spooky Frank&quot is the founding director of a firm that’s building floating castles, it’s a bad sign for those of us left behind.

10. The climate issue should be #1 worldwide but it is not. Hope our soon to be AI...

...masters fix it as we all flop around with limited work potential. Little AI scrubbers (trillions) released into the atmosphere to eat carbon will work great, right? Or we can all live in climate controlled towns sort of like big yurts or Logan's Run.

12. We have too many conveniences to

look up from the screens of the communicators to pay attention along with governments run by those who provide us with every distraction possible while they kill all life on the planet.

13. ...while our idiot Comrade-in-Chief tells the G20 not to mention it.

17. WW III will be fought with

nuclear weapons. WW IV will be fought with rocks.

19. You all have to quit fretting

The cat V hurricane that wrecked my place last year (worst ever recorded in the region) was just a coincidence. It is probably all of those liberal scientists who make all that money off of carbon trades that is causing the problems. I am glad that the extremely wealthy have a plan to survive, and I am sure that the wealth they continue to gather will trickle down on me. As a matter of fact, I am feeling trickled on often.

All scientists are liberal tree huggers, except for the honest ones that work for big oil. They are all educated at liberal colleges who teach them to hate America. You have a choice, believe the honest hedge fund managers or believe socialists climate scientists, I don't know how it should be so damn difficult.
