Your hypercynical attitude is dangerous and wholly disconnected from reality.
It’s true that the 1.5°C goal is seeming to get more and more unrealistic. That’s endlessly frustrating, as is the slow progress overall. However, it’s also completely untrue to act as though nothing was done. That’s just hypercynical bullshit that doesn’t have anything to do with reality.
Just like talk about private jets is just not at all constructive because it doesn’t matter at all. It’s incredibly irrelevant.
- LatteLazy 4y agoYou can call it hyper cynical, I don't necessarily disagree. But my attitude is completely rooted in reality. It's people who think we're making progress that aren't living in reality. That's sort of my whole point. Do you really, honestly, think that cop27 will make progress where the previous 26 completely failed? Or all the accords before Paris? We've known there was a massive issue for 40 years. We've spent that time making it worse. Those are not attitudes, they're just facts... I know I'm a downer, but that doesn't make me wrong and we really need LESS hope because 40 years of hope has actually made everything worse.
- arrrg 4y agoI agree with your pessimistic outlook in the sense that I expect very little. However, we are making (too slow) progress, so not meeting is not an alternative.
