Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fresh water reserves will be 30% OVER capacity by 2030 and 90% of top soil is at tisk of erosion by 2050
Pick your own sources from the search results.
Oh and if that's not enough for you, these ice sheets are experiencing 'tipping point like behaviour' and you know what will happen when the planet has a few more years as hot as 2023 and more of those ice sheets experience a bit more of that 'tipping point like behaviour'? That's called the Blue Ocean Event. Feel free to look the BOE up with as many of your own sources as you like, the blog page I linked just has a good explanation and diagrams, it's faaaaar from the only source. It's also called the Clathrate gun hypothesis if Wikipedia is more your jam.
And what with 2024 having been another record breakingly hot year, and no reprieve in sight due carbon emissions still increasing, causing more natural disasters due to climate collapse, and not to mention the crop failure getting worse year on year and fuck, if I didn't have shit to do this evening I could go on all night adding to this list.
So not gonna lie but I think we're pretty fucked for 'how mamy people can the earth handle'. Billions of people are going to die this century.
That top link should say "40% over capacity on fresh water", typo sorry.
