This was the elephant in 1970. The elephant now is raging around breaking things while half of us smugly scoff at the other half for believing in elephants

Breaking things? At this point is there anything left that has not been broken, at least once if not already yet multiple times? 💔😞

It can (and will) get so much worse

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

You say "worse", they say "better". Which I suppose means that this was always inevitable. Those who should have known better... we only pretended otherwise?

"Okay, ~~ManBearPig~~ the elephant is real. What are we gonna do about it now, huh? What are we gonna do that's gonna make any difference now, Susan?"

Seriously, even in 1970 drastic action might not have been enough to stop a lot of the damage, as nature has been filtering and absorbing what we've done long before signs started showing. However, given that the last thing we should have done was ramp up things to dwarf what we had done in the previous century, but that's what we did. And we still aren't putting on brakes. We get what we deserve.

And yes, doing something now is still better than nothing, but so much less than it could have been.

This was the elephant in 1970. The elephant now is raging around breaking things while half of us smugly scoff at ~~the other half for believing in elephants~~ transgenders and immigrants.

FTFY.

But seriously, I know people who are well meaning for the most part, they are very opinionated on culture wars, but I never heard them talk about economics or climate change. Most people don't even associate migration with climate change, and instead still think of illegal versus legal immigration. News flash, more droughts and floods will only force more people to migrate.
