The ending is what really got me.

They all just sat down and kept trying to live life the way they always had, like going back and making everything the way it was just for a little while was all they could do in the face of obliteration.

I don't know about anyone else, but the way that scene is drawn out, as the viewer, I was just expecting some deus ex machina shit to happen, like a volcano would divert the shockwave, or they would survive under the rubble, or the whole thing was a fever dream... And they all just get obliterated by the disaster they all knew was coming and no longer preventable. It's how I feel living in a house with AC, and having two cars in the driveway. I'm contributing to the climate crisis, but as an individual, I have zero impact in what is happening. The people with the power to cut back and actually make an impact on the climate won't, because they only have that power though greed above everything else.

Anyway, sorry if you're depressed after reading it. When we hit +1.5C, all the cool people can come over to my house for a nice dinner before the food supply collapses and the famine sets in.

Yea, it's the ending line

"We had it good"

that really got me. The resignation that there's just things out of your control even if you go down fighting.

If that's your attitude, why are you waiting until later to open your home, share meals, or lend your car to people?

Theft, money, insurance.

I wanna change the world, but I still have to live in it first.
