    ok, but only a very small percentage of the global population gets to visit the entire earth on a yearly basis - I mostly only care about where I live.

      Takes like this are why we don’t deserve to survive as a species

          How…does that make sense to you.

          “There’s way too many people in well-off areas that will survive the great famines and heatwaves killing most people by the equator. So it’s not really all that bad.”

          What a stupid, stupid opinion. It’s this exact kind of idiotic nonsense take that’s dominated and helped out the culpable industries throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Get fuckin bent

            the reality is that the poor and downtrodden masses will suffer - as is the case when you look back through history. it has always been this way. why should that change because you’re alive? what do you contribute to the equation to alter it in any meaningful way?

            some small minority percentage of humanity will survive (the wealthy 1st world nation’s citizens) - probably in bunkers or perhaps in orbit - and after things “cool off” they will repopulate the world. you can see the faint beginnings of this starting now, if you look close enough.

            I mean, literally just what they said in that comment is likely correct, before someone comes back at you. In context this is shitty though.

          It’s acutely disappointing to see people care so little about others & the world in general.

          But I don’t want to waste energy being mean to people on the internet. I hope you have a change of heart.

      That’s not how this works. It’s like being in a swimming pool and not caring if people are peeing in it because “nobody’s peeing in my area.”

      A climate crisis in one area will definitely effect another negatively.
