A bad economy is good for the climate, which is good for the economy.

- ars 6y agoI'm bad economy means no money for environmental projects. It's not a good thing.
- Ghjklov 6y agoBad economy might lead to wars and conflicts. But if it kills a lot of people, I guess that's good for the climate in the long game. Wars are also great for the economy assuming you survive. Wow, the outlook for the next decade is fantastic.
- abyssin 6y agoI personally can hardly handle thinking about the future without taking the possibility of conflicts caused by the climate mess into account.
- mercer 6y agoI don't know your age, but I've been rather worried about the fact that almost all my < 30 years old friends seem to be some degree of 'doomer'. Whether it's climate, the economy (and the prospects of retirement), or even just expectations if what their next few decades will be like. Obviously I don't just worry that they feel this way, but also that they probably have a good reason for feeling this way, but either way it's worrying.
