look this is going to sound horrible but -- i was born in 1996, i've been hearing this shit all my life, climate catastrophe, uninhabitable planet....i'm just waiting for a spectacular collapse so i can stop having the background anxiety about it and we can live our lives like in our favorite post-apocalyptic films
Unfortunately, large-scale systems change slowly due to inertia and the distances involved. Unless you introduce extreme amounts of energy like the dinosaur killing meteor.
Even then it's happening ridiculously fast considering changes of this scale typically happen over tens of thousands of years at least.
Yeah!
We're all gonna be in this apocalyptic film
If there is enough civilization to have film after.
After the fall of the Mediterranean Bronze Age civilizations, it took several hundred years before any real civilizations arose. And the only one with any records of it were the Egyptians
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is...
Uhh, well ... not all of us. Wouldn't be much of an apocalypse otherwise
God yeah. This is like a tease that has been happening for decades. I cannot wait to normalize living in bunkers.
You all need to lower your expectations. Billions of people are going to die.
All the bunkers in my part of the world are owned by Silicon valley billionaires/Russian oligarchs.
Fuck that noise. Do something about it now. Unmake a pipeline. Blockade a coal port. Fight, for fucks sake. We don't get to undo this.
