Anyone surprised? Or just disappointed, exasperated, frustrated, anxious, mixed in with a little bit of hope that not too many life sustaining systems will be altered

More like validated .... it's what I always thought of human nature and it's only proving true.

The Earth is fine ... it's been through worse than us.

Give it a few million years and life will just reset without us.

It's all of us that we should worry about. We're leading ourselves to our own extinction.

It would be so nice to believe it’s all fake news. To live in that false bubble of safety.

I hope there will be a tipping point in the world psyche. That to actually reduce or prevent mass human and non human suffering we need to think and act differently.

I think personally holding the leaders of countries and corporations for the environment damage they enable/cause would go a long way.

You won’t pollute a waterway or drain a river if you know that it could bankrupt you and get 20 lashes in the town square for being a greedy kunt
