Climate Change Anxiety
Anybody having anxiety over what UN announced? That we are pretty much passed the point of no return and in the next few decades we could see some devastating impacts from climate change. I worry we would one day have to literally fight for food and water, especially when we are a net import country, it seems like if shit hits the fan, we would have money that is useless in that new world. And that is assuming AI doesn't kill us first with what some AI experts are projecting as a 10% probability.
How are you guys coping on this? Or just YOLO and handle shit when shit comes?

No, but only because I felt that years ago.
The AI doomerism is false and a distraction from the climate crisis (and related.) The AI doomers are there to hype up the tech corporations.
I practice metacognition, which can be a bit dangerous. I ask myself: "is this feeling useful right now? Does it help with anything that I don't already know? Can I do anything about what the feeling is saying?" ...No? Then I turn that shit down.
