We are in the middle of a climate apocalypse. But do we really care?
We are in the middle of a climate apocalypse. But do we really care?
The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must
Here in America, we definitely care, but at the moment we are caught in the biggest existenstial crisis since the Civil War. We can't deal with Climate Change until we purge the MAGA Nazi's from our government. Then we can get back on track to dealing with larger global issues
But right now we have to save our country, and the world. That's the biggest thing we can do at the moment. Because if we don't stop the Nazis, they will allow every polluter to destroy the environment.
i think that the fact that the american ruling class has decided to ban green technology from china and pivot themselves towards the arctic by trying to annex greenland and canada proves that the people who could make a difference already don't care; meanwhile the rest of us are still fighting the culture wars while simultaneously identifying that the culture war is a distraction.
places like india are going to bear the brunt of it.
Which is also why the US is trying to push hard into the indian agricultural markets with all this talk on tarrifs. They want to extract as much wealth out of the people as possible before the climate scorches the earth. Colonizers with foresight.
they're also fight off green tech from china and sapping themselves in nationalist vs islam culture wars; like us, they're not doing themselves any favors.
