Sure there is isn’t a lot to be optimistic about. I’m not optimistic in any quantifiable sense. I just like to think “we can make it through this” rather than “we’re all gonna die”. That’s the only way how I can keep my sanity.
No one said humanity cant make it threw it. Thing is, we dont know that for curtain, its likely, but not curtain.
And yet still, me being in my early 20s i will have to see the world succum to it and probably live threw the death of the AMOC and the results. All while currently not having propotional equal political power als the old fucks that are voting in fascists and nazis (yes. Hi im from germany and yes the AfD is fascist and hosts a lot of actually nazis).
Reality is this and it needs to be talked about even if it is bleak and seems hopeless. All the damage done right now is irreversable. “Humanity will survive” yes but at what cost? How many people have to lose their place of home? How much terraine has to become uninhabitable? How many species have to die out? How much chemicals in every part of us and water wasted that already is running out with the droughts?
Throwing our hands up and “well we cant really do anything” or “its somehow gonna sort itself out” is a pathetic stance on a litteral existential issue of humanity.
No one knows if this actually is the end of humanity or not. No one. So either help fighting climat change every bit you can, in politics and changing your lifestyle or be one of the causes of a perhaps extingtion of your own kind and the terrible world you leave behind.
You arent getting younger, the heat and effects will be yours to live with. And maybe even your personal death, be it from natural desaster, heat stroke, or other causes.
So keep your high school ‘you are fun at partys’ to yourself. The once that are actually discussing the topic are talking and you arent helping
Right, and that is commendable. Just please keep comments like “You guys seem like a fun bunch to hang out with” to yourself, it’s not really adding to the discussion and we don’t need snide remarks about the fear and uncertainty we feel in regards to the collapse of the global environment. Keep that chin up, don’t let people harsh your vibe, but please don’t push down when people are rightfully worried about the future. Things are going to be getting very hard for a lot of people a lot sooner than we were hoping for, it’s only natural that people are going to feel negatively about it.
