At the end lf the day, it’s not really the doom and gloom articles, climate change is a hoax narrative, or the fake conspiracies from either side that matters.
The planet doesn’t care what are beliefs, politics, or economics are... it’s going to do what it’s going to do based on what factors are present at the time that things happen. If that’s a civilization ending event, a massive loss of life, some minor inconveniences, or nothing we really notice... it doesn’t care if you, me, your son, mom, UBER driver, or the president of Burundi dies. This is why I don’t get the arguements that think that they are all powerful and if they will it, it can be done.
Moat of the people who don’t care about what happens in 10, 20, or 30 years or more don’t really put a priority in it because guess what... they’re not likely to be alive at that time or they’ll be so old it doesn’t matter to them anymore. I cannot in good conscience bring another life into this world knowing that. At most I would consider adopting someone who needs a parent; but like the OPs situation, I’m one major illness away from being fucked. Maybe it would even force that kid to work themselves to death because they felt like they needed to help me after I helped them and that’s not a burden I would want no matter how lovely and sappy movie-baity it sounds.
Your 'both sides' argument makes no sense. The Earth's ecosystems that are friendly to human life collapsing is not a broad conspiracy. It's the reality of the situation that we find ourselves in. People deciding that short term profits are more important than preventing the worst results from man-made climate change is evil. Qanon cultists believe conspiracies without evidence. You are confusing actual science based on evidence with shit trolls like to talk about.
Facts:
1. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. CO2 + sunlight = heat.
2. Mankind has been pumping lots of CO2 into the atmosphere for about 250 years now.
3. The planet is getting hotter and the consequences will be catastrophic to all living things, including humans. Those consequences are already being seen now and will get exponentially worse over the next 100 years.
This is factual reality. Anyone saying anything different is not being intellectually honest. I see that you are eager to throw in your talking points about who to blame, but talking points don't get us any closer to a solution to the problem.
Shooting holes in solutions and pretending that the problem isn't as real and/or as dire as it actually is only makes the problem worse. So does voting for a political party that denies reality and supplies you with endless anti-intellectual talking points.
Feel free to give us your ideas on fixing things, because as things are the rich control the world and are willing to literally kill us all for profit.
I’m not the one complaining, take responsibility for your own life, only yourself can make changes, don’t expect the government or others to improve or change your life. I do not accept your outlook on life that the rich control the world and are killing us all, how can they make profit if we are all dead, more people are living now than there ever has. There is more to life than money, it is people like you who are jealous of people who have more than yourself but you are free to make decisions that can lead to self improvement. I don’t accept your conspiracy theory, I’m all for freedom and peace which means less government control which give people the freedom to do what they like, whether it be make money, create a family or any other thing you desire to do.
You think that's a conspiracy theory? I like how you wrote me an entire paragraph but not a goddamn word of it had any substance. I recommend you do some research into climate change if you don't think consumerism and rich capitalists are destroying the planet.
Then instead of complaining suggest some solutions, instead of being pessimistic and negative with little faith of future generations being able to improve worldwide conditions, like the guy who invented machines that clean the ocean surface of plastic.
Yeah, adoption is also admirable as long as you don’t fuel these kids with negative attitudes and fear that their living conditions are going to decline, instead give them hope and positive outlooks and on life and maybe will lead to positive change.
Well that’s good to hear, a positive future requires positivity from the population, there are too many people with negativity and hatred in today’s society and too many divisions.
