The people that could have done something about this don’t care. We’re past that now. So there’s little point in sounding the alarms now. This train is unstoppable.

It’s still going to get worse, if we don’t do things now.

Do you seriously think nothing has been done up until now? Like… no one bothered until you just said something?

People have been screaming from the rooftops for decades! Initiatives have been started on local levels to promote climate-based healing and programs.

Look at where we are.

It’s worse than ever.

WE- have no power to do anything about it. It’s over. We lost.

I don’t think that, no.

People just love their defeatism, and I’m not having it. There is no point in giving up.

Yeah at this point, there’s two types of people. Those who aren’t interested in climate change either because they don’t believe it will happen or believe we can stop it, and those who are absofuckinlutely terrified. I think I’d rather be blissfully ignorant.

There is a calmness to it. There is not much I can do but I do as much as I can while enjoying life. I don’t think anything could have made me appreciate each day as much as climate change and to boot I don’t worry much about my job and the future well because the writings on the wall. Do what I agreed to and then go out and smell the flowers and enjoy the best my life will be going forward.

There’s a “calmness” to it now… Maybe see how calm it is once wars over water, massive climate migration, famine, etc. etc. start becoming a daily occurrence.

I’ll add that some of those that have the means of doing something are doing something.

Another thing. People that don’t think climate change is real will learn the hard way when their livelihood get impacted by its consequences. Deniers can ignore reality, but it certainly won’t ignore them

They can just blame the liberals for losing their livelihood. And then when the supply chain breaks down, they can blame them again.

I’d rather be blissfully ignorant of a lot of things. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of “forgetting” the awful shit I already know.

Sound the fucking alarms. Scream from the rooftops. It’s going to keep getting worse until we stop it.

Hate to break it to you, but…. it’s too late for that. And even if there a glimmer of hope left- “we” aren’t stopping shit.

We don’t have the connections, the money, or the power to do a thing about it.

Enjoy the show. It gets worse from here on out.

We are in the end game now.

Update; seriously though. At one hand climate emergency is at its peak, on other we see extreme polarisation and marginalization of minorities and other communities within most societies that used to be relatively stable. How does one remain calm knowing it’s impossible to fix it all alone.

It is still possible to fix any of these problems.

But not if we collectively throw up our hands and give up.

Idk man, feels like it’s rigged from top to bottom. The country I come from, the media is fully controlled, the opposition is barely functional, and the public support for the current leaders is tremendous, despite all the hate speech and unscientific temperament. One person speaks up, 10,000 silence it back.

Interesting that the global temperature peaks around the middle of the year when half the globe is in winter, wonder if it’s because of all the land they’ve got up north?

That’s exactly it. Almost 70 percent of land is in the northern hemisphere.
