To the people answering "climate change": How does that feel?
I can only sympathize with the feelings referring to oneself. Like being miserable or blaming myself for my individual situation. Climate change doesn't make me depressed personally, more angry. (At politics for example.) But it's not something i overly blame myself for.
I would like to know what you feel. Weltschmerz? Being helpless? Does it concern you more than other people because of your geographical location or do you sympathize with people living somewhere else?
For me it's completely helpless.
I have total disdain for this consumerism and can't see how we can avoid anything but reverting to essentially subsistence farming again. Once you take away the shipping container, everything falls down...
I believe the economics of shipping stuff around the planet to be cleaned, then processed, then packed, all in different locations is completely insane.
If I was more charismatic, if start a suicide cult, essentially. I know that's comment an excuse but it's how I feel about the matter. There are simply far too many of us, we need to thin the herd.
I also regret having had kids and would never again do that to someone, I kinda fell down the antinatal hole... I love 'em and we have a great time, but I see nothing bright in the future.
Thanks for explaining.

Climate change, though of course a potential issue, isn't particularly a bad vibes factor for me, but one thing that always succeeds in making me feel a little irritated is how, when people take action against climate change, they always do it in the countries that are already fairly good about keeping the air healthy, and it's the countries that really need it that have no active movements. The reason Los Angeles air used to be stereotypically dirty is there was so much smog in China that there was enough of it for some of it to blow over. China is still a mess with air pollution, but I only hear the climate change activists taking it out on the English speaking nations.
Plus Europe, at least in most nations
Would be funny though, if it were somehow dependent on language: "Scusi, cos'è l'inquinamento?"
But it's not 'us' vs 'them'. Mind we let the chinese manufacture our stuff. They pollute the air by proxy. To mass-produce our goods.
