Fire

A comic in four panel:

Panel 1. Pepper and Carrot, a young witch with her cat, is buying vegetable at the market, with her broom on her back. The city is half in flames, yet it’s still market day and people are everywhere. The seller, an halfing goat, responds to her.

Pepper: “”But
 isn’t there a−”
Seller: “−a fire? What fire? It’s just a little hot today.”

Panel 2. A posh lady walks past. An halfing dog-man brags.

Lady: “Someone is complaining? I’m perfectly fine. Just install a well in your home like we did.”
Dog-Man: “There is no fire, kid! It’s pure Elves’ propaganda!”

Panel 3. Pepper points at the fire in the background, to the suprise of the lady and man.

Pepper: “But
 Don’t you see it?”

Panel 4. The posh lady, seller, and dog-man all scream at Pepper. She flies away on her broom without looking back, circling her finger near her head (a gesture for “crazy”). They’re now completely engulfed in flames.

All: “Everything is FINE, OK?!!!”

It is but it makes me sad that artists have to do that now or else get immediately accused of AI.

Not mad at the artists or at the people who can’t tell what’s AI or not. Just, fuck AI lol.

Your comment made me realize something. As timelapses as “proof of art” get more and more common those timelapses will just be used as training material for future video models.

In a few years I suspect people will be able to ask a video models for a Timelapse for any given piece of “art”.

Nah, we know that lakes still froze in winter in our childhood and that each year gets a few >30°C days more. It’s not fine.

Or just hover nearby and watch them get burned alive. It’s what they deserve.

I think it’s mainly Americans who don’t believe in climate change. I don’t live in the US but I am yet to meet a non-American who does not believe it’s real. Although, unfortunately, said people may think climate change is real but it is at the bottom of their priority. The far right idiotically and pathetically fail to link climate change with migration. The former think migrants simply want to cause havoc. Most people don’t leave their places unless it’s economic, which climate change is wreaking havoc upon because the vulnerable and poor global south don’t have the means to cope with warming weather that causes drought. Meanwhile, the billionaires are laughing all the way to the bank and stringing us along like puppets. And we are all too happy to be played upon.

Not trying to blame any group specific but it’s mainly people that believe Facebook science. That and they’re usually 55-70 yrs.

It really very often is a self defense mindset because that generation knew, but never acted on it because they were living in a golden age.

It isn’t helpful to blame a group anymore. Action needs to come from everyone together. We’re in this together. It’s just really hard to make a living and worry about the huge fireball that were living in, and I think that’s by design.

If I had time and funds to make a real change, I would. But now I’m really just trying to be alive.

There’s a lot of denial where I live too. The very popular conservative right-wing party has gone from comically absurd denial to “sure, it’s real, but it’s not that bad, and in any case the important thing is to not waste any money so we must think long and hard about what to do about it” (meaning they will do nothing and defend it as being “financially healthy politics” or some bullshit like that).

Many other politicians (center/left) seem to have shifted their talking points from “we must do something about it” to “we must adapt to the climate changes” (in other words, between the lines they say “there’s nothing we can do about it, except learn to live with it"). Only the green party still tries, but they’re not very big.

Oh, i know a few here in Germany, specifically rural Lower Bavaria. But i’m not surprised by that, since these idiots are also voting for AfD, and love to eat up Russian propaganda.

Merz (German Chancellor) doesn’t. He literally shrugged and said “I can’t change the weather.” He also wants to get rid of renewables and public transport asap.

Go to East Anglia. Talk with the retired farmers there.

Some of the smartest most conscientious people who are completely in touch with their land, preserving the nature around them, permaculture, and using only what you need.

Repeating the exact conservative talking points ad-verbum.

The conservatives have swapped from “Climate change isnt real” to “Climate change is real, but not man made so we dont have to do anything”

So, we’re all aware, the party line is just whether you want cheap clean energy or if you really want to line Saudi Arabias pockets

No outright denying it, but a lot of misinformation is common in my country. Like “damn it was cold this summer, and despite global warming too!” type stuff.

anecdotal.

I have never met an American that denied climate change.

I also never met a flat earther.

that means it’s not my country’s problem, right?

US is the only country that i know of that institutionally deny climate change because the Republican party, with their corporate donors, is still considered a viable political party by Americans. And they won’t do such a thing if there aren’t enough people who don’t believe in climate change.
