Honestly I'm over how fucked we are at this point.
Will it be hell? Yeah. But every 0.1 degrees we prevent will help. We can't stop fighting because we are not the only people suffering. There are way way way more people that are terrified and are fighting really damn hard. We should never abandon those people. Then we are just bending over to the big polluting corporations. Every 0.1 degrees can save so many damn lives. Humanity WILL survive. Most of is in the west will. Giving up and letting the people in the worst parts of the world rot and burn is not something we should do.
Sorry but i really fucking hate the doomer comments here about giving up.
Scroll down. I'm still going to do what I can. But I'm resigned to the fact that, odds are, it's beyond hope.
I'm glad I decided to start traveling while I still can
Yep. Have fun while you can. I mean I'm going to still do what I can do, vote for the right people but... At this point... It's like we are a person still diligently showing up to all his chemotherapy appointments despite the fact he's resigned to it not working in the end.
Yep. The people in power are the people in power precisely because they only think about what's in it for them. That is what humanity rewards and elevates: selfishness. Oh I'm sorry, they rebranded selfishness into a positive trait: "rational self-interest." what a lovely Orwellian flourish.
Humans that consider how their actions may negatively effect others are not. Only practicing sociopaths are permitted to steer this ship, and wouldn't you know it, they're steering us right into oblivion for short term ego score returns.
Good news, at least you probably won't die from climate-related causes until after at least the year 2100. Maybe sooner if you'll be elderly by then, maybe later if you're young now.
