By 2030, of course. Will anyone remember this prognostication of doom and call the cultists who posted it out when it doesn’t happen?
Climate Change is Coming for Students’ Paychecks
I was working the front desk of my summer job at Sunset Beach in July when a man, dressed in blue scrubs, walked down and handed me a KN-95 face mask: something I hadn’t worn since the Covid-19 pandemic.
He told us that smoke from the Canadian wildfires had created fine inhalable particles, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers – 30 times smaller than the average human hair.
Unbeknownst to me, prolonged exposure to these microparticles can cause irritation of respiratory airways and irregular heart rates.
My coworkers and I immediately put on the masks.
Few guests came down to the beach that morning, and almost all who did told me how bad they felt that I had to be working when the air was dangerous to my health. Watching them walk up and down the beach through the yellow haze in their face masks felt dystopian – like I was living in a sci-fi movie.
So, because someone did something stupid and started a wildfire, intentionally or unintentionally, it’s doom. Every minor experience is not a sign of climate apocalypse
At the moment, I was thrilled that I was able to leave early. However, that excitement quickly faded when I realized that this meant I would be working fewer hours, meaning a smaller paycheck at the end of the week.
However, these instances are symptoms of a larger problem of eco-anxiety, affecting nearly 60% of the youth.
No one ever had to leave work or school early before ‘climate change’, right?
For many students, summer is one of few opportunities to make money before heading back to a jam-packed school year; so, one paycheck really does make a difference for many when making budgets to save for college or re-pay loans.
However, teenagers working outdoors across the country can attest that these are not isolated incidents. For them, hours being cut as a result of severe weather has become the new normal.
I worked a bunch of outside jobs during my high school summers, and some college summers, and the weather could cause me to be off that day. Unfortunately, the weather also meant no surfing. Sigh. This is your fault in retrospect.
Senior Claire Maguire, who spends her summers lifeguarding at Sunset Beach, has felt the burden of climate change in almost every paycheck.
“If I get two shifts rained-out, that’s a lot of money that I could have been making, and time I could have been doing other things with,” she said.
These Yutes think they are the first people in the history of Mankind to have this happen. Insane
That said, she isn’t the only teenager experiencing climate-induced job insecurity. The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2030, 3.8% of total working hours could be lost because of climate-induced high temperatures, wildfires, and poor air quality.
Yes, and they want lots of your money and freedom to “solve” this.
So, we only have wildfires because of climate change? It only rains because of climate change? It doesn’t rain because of climate change? That never happened before the industrial revolution?
It’s been relatively warm where I am for the end October and beginning of November. But it’s also been pretty cold in recent years. And I’m sure it will continue to fluctuate in years to come.
Climate-induced job insecurity? That’s a good one.
Never seen it put quite this way…
But it’s difficult to disagree with the reasoning.
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
The frequency of wildland forest fires caused by human ignition has not increased significantly
The severity of wildland fires has increased significantly because of and increase in
temps.
Jimmi and others can look it up to verify
Not so, Johnny. “Has not increased significantly”. Actually, the global wildfire area has decreased 18% below the 2020 to present average. Is “climate change” causing that, too? Even the IPCC said in their last assessment report that in regards to wildfires, there is “low confidence in direction of change”. First of all, how is “intensity” measured? Intensity can just as easily be the result of poor land management. Various studies have blamed arson or careless humans as the cause 60-80% of all wildfires. As the population increased, one would then expect to find more wildfires, yet the opposite has happened.
With whom is Jill arguing? “Global wildfire area” was not mentioned. Nor was “intensity” mentioned.
Here in the U.S. we’ve cut CO2 emissions by 20% over the past two decades!!!
N.B. – U.S. emissions increased 2.4% in 2025!! Winning!!
Yet Denier Teach, whining!: “… they want lots of your money and freedom to “solve” this.”
Yet, according to King Donny our economy is the greatest ever! The stock market is roaring! Donny has made at least $3 Billion the past 2 years!!!
What money and freedom have you lost the past 20 years?
Rimjob and his rhetorical factoids.
Thanks fatass!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
Logicical fallacy
Factoid
Looks like someone is picking up those words that philosophers use in critical thinking
Wholesale inflation rates jumps to 6.5%
Wholesalers are going to be in further cuts in hours worked
Later this month McDs will again reduce prices vin an attempt to get customers to spend money
McDs prices went up significantly under Biden because McDs knew that it’s customers could and would still buy there
Under Trump. We are seeing DEFLATION because people just don’t have any money to spend at the cheapest restaurant in town
