Yes, now we're talking! Enough of the "we've accomplished so much" rhetoric already. Thank you! > What do many people do when they are in a state of despair, the state your messaging is portraying? They get fearful and then they get angry and then they demand changes. > I suggest toning down the fear mongering rhetoric Is is rhetoric if it's accurately portraits the state of things? Because all the statistics I've mentioned are documented scientific facts. Is it fear mongering to call out the state of things and to remind people what the stakes really are? Maybe? I don't know. But I don't think so. > Everyone knows global warming is a thing, the US government isn't ignoring it. The US government is still subsidizing fossil gas and is issuing permits for drilling, both on-shore and off-shore. Nothing is happening besides lip service. Little progress has been made and as soon as the Republicans are back in office, all of that will get reversed. Because even in the US, one of the richest countries in the world, more than 35% don't consider global warming to be a thing. There are lots of people that haven't yet realized that it is a thing. And even if they have realized that it's a thing; they either don't know how big of a thing it is or they refuse to speak out - both because they fear to be ridiculed and because they don't want to face the fact that we're headed for disaster. In our times, there is no other topic as urgent as getting a hold of climate change. > I'm not sure why you are selling it. I want for people to acknowledge that our predatory ecosystem exploitation has brought us to the brink of an existential crisis for all of humanity and that we have to get our shit together, as a species, to address this problem. Because, you know, I'm scared shirtless. I lie awake at night, of fear for the lives of my children and their children. Because they will not inherit a place to live. They will inherit a place to die. There will be millions and millions of people on the run, desperately trying to get somewhere they're not scorched by the heat and forced to starve to death. Their migration will destabilize governments and they will be welcomed with scorn and hatred. Our acidic oceans will be fished empty, empty and lifeless, our fields will be barren and dry and and what little food there is will be barely enough to feed the industrial countries. If we continue to act like we currently are, in forty years time there will be hunger and riots and strive and war. Globally. Because nothing is happening that would change the course we're currently on. There's a huge iceberg (A metaphorical one. The actual one has already melted, since the arctic is now ice free in summer) that we're headed straight towards and everyone is busy arranging the deck chairs for the orchestra. I want people to be afraid and fearful and to get angry and to demand change. Not climate change, the other kind of change. The kind of change that averts climate change.
