I fucking hate this. Its all for literally nothing. For fucking money. Money. Imaginary pieces of paper. Even worse, imaginary numbers on a fucking screen. Data. It’s all for fucking nothing. We won’t avoid the 1.5 C mark, and it might come in 5 years. 2 C would mean basically the end of any semblance of normal, at all, and the collapse of the global south. Forget even 3 degrees, I’d probably already be dead. They won. They fucking won. No revolution in the Imperial Core is possible. Everyone is a chud, or a lib, or a left anticommunist. We can’t fucking win. It’s over. The world is over. doomjak

    The world isn’t ending.

    It’s just getting worse.

    You are going to die someday, and now you’re a bit more likely to die because of climate change instead of old age, but the rest of the human race isn’t all going to die with you at the same time.

    You don’t get the narcissistic satisfaction of an apocalypse.

    Life will continue after you are gone, even if it’s on a ruined planet.

      yes obviously some peopke will survive but unless we deal with climate change immediately within 30 or so years the world will literally end. i am not narcissistic, you just don’t understand the gravity of climate change.

      do you even know how bad 2 degrees higher than pre industrial levels will be?

      Life won’t continue in any semblance of anything recognisable and even if it did the fact is little comfort when I am worrying for my friends and family. I don’t really give a shit about the human race as a concept. I give a shit about all the people I love and I give a shit about all the people everyone else loves and will miss.
