The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.

I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

    I’m sorry you feel that way, but I get where you’re coming from.

    Zoom out a little though and it’s consequences are war, famine, and desecration.

    If not the human suffering, consider eons long chains of biology that’ll be wiped off the face of the earth as climates shift quicker than their ability to adapt

      Ha. That will be wiped off? We are actively watching a mass extinction occur. It’s not going to happen. It already is

        I remember watching a clip from “The Network” where Jeff Daniel’s is interviewing an expert on climate change. It was when it was too late - and the expert lore or less said so.

        It struck me as prescient - that despite all the warnings we’d be shocked when it came and it was irreversible.

        Tbh it came sooner than I expected.
