We need to make counter memes for this bullshit, everyone circlejerking each other over how hopeless the situation is doesn’t help anyone.
We had 40 years to fix things 60 years ago. It’s too late by every scientific measure. The best we can do now is stockpile and hope to last. The Earth will move on without us. As it did before us.
We’re already in the middle of a mass extinction. We can only hope that we won’t be one of the species lost.
I say this knowing I’ll be one of the first to die…
Climate awareness and this kind of depression posting are two different things. This post only serves to make people upset, but provides no useful information.
Yeah, shit sucks. Thanks for reminding me I guess.
You realize that corporations are smoothly pivoting from promoting climate denial to promoting climate despair, right? They want you to think that it’s hopeless and that there’s no point in trying, but we actually still have a chance to prevent the worst climate change outcomes. Please stop spreading this shit.
That’s why I moved to where it’s regularly 10-15 degrees cooler than I like. And I’m buying more land further north from there. Gotta lead it.
That was my plan… it was 95°F yesterday in Minneapolis. :( Where do I have to go, Siberia?!
To a coast. For example Ashland was 75 today, on the lake. Eureka CA had a high of 60, which is in my neck of the woods, my high today was 57.
Not too close to the coast mind you…
Good point.
Fuck
It’s winter here and it got to 23°C :(
The companies who are killing the planet ████████████████████████
Welp

It’s not over yet, I promise.
Unless we get fusion and/or general AI… Yup.
Under the current / capitalist mode of production, probably especially if, tbh
I wouldn’t put it past this timeline, that’s for sure
I promise you we don’t need fusion just to survive, we just need better policies. Please don’t give up.
The problem is that at any point we could have dealt with it, but greed seems to be preventing that to the point that we may need a miracle tech breakthrough that is so great, that fixing this issue would be trivial.
Dealing with climate change isn’t a binary either/or thing, there’s a huge range of potential outcomes we could fall into. Suffice to say that the more we do to reduce pollution now the better things will be in the future, even if we’ve missed our chance to completely avoid significant warming. We’ve only barely invested in renewable energy and it’s still having a massive impact on emissions.
I agree, we are still making important renewable advancements that are being used more and more.
False! My frozen tundra will turn into new Florida swampland with my own meth gators.
True, but on the upside VR is maturing and hopefully will allow for near complete escapism for long periods of time. Also, some of us didn’t have kids so I guess that’s kind of cool.
