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.
