BC is burning, and I saw this post on Facebook.

Nah, climate change isn’t real.

Don’t worry, glorified golf course sprinklers will save us!

I know, this is jaded for a solar punk post, but we don’t need sprinkler defense - we need megacorps to stop producing 50% of global emissions

    Somewhere, some day, a billionaire will see this and tell someone to make this happen around his private doomsday bunker/spa retreat to weather out the totally normal summer temperatures to come. Just until the Mars colony is up and running, of course.

    I love how they snuck “commercial” into the post, too. Like, obviously it has to be commercialized, can’t fathom having any poor peoples’ homes saved, after all.

    Technical limitations? Bah! That’s a typical poor people argument, they always lack vision!

      They said “commercial sprinkler systems”, i.e. stuff you can easily buy, there is nothing about housing (all residential areas). I agree it’s dumb, but at least get the facts right.
