Yes, the planet was destroyed in the name of insatiable capitalist greed.
But for one shining moment in time, we created a lot of value for shareholders!
(and just to be crystal clear, not you)
In torn between following my dreams and dedicating my life to attempting to help the climate crisis by going to school and inventing some tech to help
and giving up entirely, coasting through life with my stable government job, and drinking to forget until the day I hang myself...
This world is fucked, should I even try? Or should I just hope in reincarnation?
Welcome to the British Petroleum summer heat wave. Next up is the Exxon Mobile Hurricane season.
Fun fact about the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season, oil and gas platforms can get insurance against a storm in the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season, but homeowners in Louisiana can't get any homeowners insurance due to the expected severity of the named storms in the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season.
Where I'm from, we were massively talking about it in the 80s when I was a kid. It promply stopped by the end of the 90s. Then all of sudden, we don't hear much about it.
It's so fucked up to be told all your life that your are insane to believe in climate change, and then about 40 years later, most people talk about it as if it was a given.
We should not be anxious about climate change, we should be furious.
Yeah well this is frightening. In 25-30 years I will retire and now I need to raise the chances that I will live in a home with air conditioning in a country that -- currently -- hardly has buildings with air conditioning because it was not a necessity up until now. This will be an uphill battle. I don't want to die prematurely in a summer heat wave..
I'm glad I'm old enough that I remember much more seasonally appropriate weather, if nothing else. It was really snowy in December when I was a kid in the 1980s and I think I only saw one green Christmas that whole time, while green Christmas is just normal now. We also didn't have air conditioning until I was in my teens, because Canada had cooler summers, and for the odd hot night you'd just sleep in the basement. Eventually we moved to a house that had central air, but I don't remember needing it the way we have the last 20 years.
I don't have air conditioning now, but it hasn't been a bad summer in Ontario so far heat wise, somehow we're missing the big heat waves everyone else is getting. I'm lucky I get a lot of tree shade.
So how screwed are we? Obviously this isn't good, but I don't think it's going to stop here - and at least in the US it doesn't seem like the political landscape is going to change any time soon. So is this bad enough for people to start having to do something like move away from the equator? Or are we approaching a legit "move to Mars" scenario?
Read Make Room! Make Room! if you want a grim and realistic picture of the future (though I don't agree with the notion that overpopulation is the problem).
Hello El Nino! I missed you.
Well this is it boys, hug your loved ones, make the most of the time that we have left. Shit feels like what the people at Horizon Zero Dawn felt.
I always thought it it was frightening enough to realize, if you were born in the 80's, every year of your life had been the hottest year on record. Will stacking hottest days consecutively hit harder? I get the sense that it won't hit all that hard until the capitalists can no longer keep off-loading the cost of climate change on the public. The outcry at that stage should be something to behold. I'm really sorry to the younger people watching us all give up, but every year of our lives has been the hottest in history and nobody has done anything about it no matter how willing we've been to do our part.
Wooooooo we’re all gonna die :|
she tried to save us
it was nice. she's so cool.
I wish there were some sort of non-religious non-spiritual group to help accept or discuss feelings related to how we are all going to die from planetary environmental destruction
i think it's time we move on from fighting for change to "how can i accept my impending doom and the doom of all humanity"
we should all pollute more and just live it up at this point, there's no stopping this, we are just too late. we had too many stupid people in charge of the governments and this is the result, our doom is inexorable
Try what exactly?
you mean in the short time weve been recording.
I totally agree with you - while climate change can be scary and difficult to deal with, it definitely has its perks too. For example, if we get really hot temperatures, we could finally have those beach parties we've always dreamed of (as long as we don't melt). And let's not forget about the endless supply of ice cream and cold drinks we'll need to cool off. On top of that, we might even be able to grow new crops and plants that previously couldn't survive in our current climate conditions. And who knows, maybe some animals that went extinct thousands of years ago might come back as well! Overall, I think we should look on the bright side of things and embrace the changes ahead of us:
- More frequent and longer periods of daylight means we can enjoy more sunshine and outdoor activities
- No more shoveling snow or scraping frost off our cars - hooray for warm winters!
- The beach party potential I mentioned earlier... lots of opportunities to wear swimsuits and hang out with friends in a tropical paradise
- Less need for heating systems means lower energy bills and less impact on the environment
- New agricultural opportunities due to changing weather patterns and increased heat tolerance of some crops
- Improved health outcomes from higher levels of vitamin D production thanks to increased sun exposure
Of course, there are also downsides to consider such as the potential for more extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. But overall, I think it's important to keep an open mind and not let fear overtake us completely. After all, life finds a way to adapt and thrive, so why shouldn't we? Let's stay positive and make the most of the new reality we're entering into. Cheers!
