Let's just admit it. We're f@cked.
If we can convince governments and corporations to step up, that's something.
But there's such a huge percentage of people who either couldn't give af, or if there is even the smallest disturbance to their daily life will resort to conspiracy theory.
People would rather lie to themselves than face a minor inconvenience or change to to their lives for the greater good.
Where are all the heroes? Are they just p!ssing around on Tiktok?

- kzrdude 3y agoI'm not depressed about the changing climate. We could adapt to changing conditions. But I'm depressed about the lack of will and capacity. We don't manage to come together and decide what to do or to deliberatey control our behaviour. (I.e help ourselves avoid climate change.) So we are in general not very sophisticated as a civilization, this whole thing is just going to happen to us. A trancendentally smart organism would understand and avoid the crisis before it hits, but we will hit the resource usage ceiling knowingly.

Because the extent on how we are f*cked can go from collapse of the economy to mass extension, from in 10 years or in 50 years. Governments only act on pressure from the base, especially when it is take difficult decisions that would most likely impact in the short term the economy (e.g. diverting $B to new energy sources, optimization for homes, transportation, etc.). It is an investment for the next decades.
