The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

Worrying about something you can’t control isn’t going to make things better either.
I feel like you didn’t read the linked article. Am I right?
I feel like you didn’t read the Stoics. Start here:
Worrying about shit outside of your control is not just unproductive, it’s counterproductive as it’s distracting you from stuff that actually is in your control.
Rationalizing fears, justifying inaction. It’s too late, there’s nothing we can do. If your reaction to climate and collapse is to do nothing, you are part of the problem. Learn about overshoot and aerosol demasking. Read Limits to Growth and get back to me.
Where exactly did I advocate to do nothing?
Do something. Do nothing. Worry, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter. Collapse is inevitable.
Getting downvoted for being right. Feels good man.
Well, being right doesn’t mean people have to like you tho… And most of the time people don’t like being told that they’re wrong too. So, that’s I guess where the downvotes came from.
I don’t care about downvotes, or if anyone likes me. As long as I can get them to take climate change seriously and inform them that collapse will happen in their lifetime.
Link doesn’t work for me
Try this one.
Assuming it’s about control or that you can’t control it is the worst. There’s always something we can do about our problems. To think otherwise is to allow yourself to be consumed by them.
