    To be entirely fair, we are like 2 cubic meters of carbon dioxide away from total ecological collapse. Made-made climate change is now beyond any threshold where we previously had reasonable expectations of being able to prevent it. The oceans will rise, climate catastrophes will increase, and the world will become more hostile.

    It kind of feels like were frogs in a boiling pot, and we’re living though the apocalypse now. But the wifi still works, so scroll on and don’t think about it too much.

      Yeah I mean things are definitely going to shit but these people whole heartedly believe that they’re going to float into the sky naked and have to make sure there’s a Democrat assigned to take care of their pets after they’re gone

      Made-made climate change is now beyond any threshold where we previously had reasonable expectations of being able to prevent it.

      Something we could have led the world in averting like we did with ozone-depleting chemicals, if it wasn’t for all the christians who believed there is no such thing as a future, that everything is just some kind of prophecy unfolding and nothing is even “real” and just a big test of some kind of from God.

      The Christian mandate for pillaging the earth of all its resources because Genesis can be translated that we have dominance over all other life as well as the death-cult attitudes of the modern followers have directly led to some of our worst outcomes and if anyone survives the next millennium, the religious people of today will be seen as the world’s most horrendous mass-murderers.

        Not at all. And in fact, I wish more people weren’t expecting a cool prize at the end of all the death and destruction.
