Well I do have kids, so I can't just say fuck it. I basically have to cling to the hope that geoengineering is going to stop the worst effects. I yoyo from "it'll be tough but we'll survive" to "we've had a good life" about 12 times a day now.
- ummonk 8y agoThe effects of global warming are going to be quite minor. Mostly having to build levees / relocate low lying buildings. Very expensive, but hardly a doomsday scenario. Not as big a deal imo as other man made threats to the environment (and to ourselves).
