No, people are scared about the climate NOW. Over the past few years the daily lives of many hundreds of millions of people has started to become impacted by climate change. Things have noticeably gotten worse.
People aren't depressed about something which could potentially happen about some point in the future, people are depressed about something that is actively happening right now - and only getting worse.
- mcv 3y agoThe tweet in question isn't so much depressed about what's happening, but about what's not happening: the fact that a lot of people are still not taking this seriously, and nothing is being done to address this.
- explaininjs 3y agoShow me something so terrible now as to overshadow the incomprehensible beauty of our existence on Mother Earth and I’ll show you an anxious/obsessive/depressive neurosis. No one’s going to be around forever, might as well enjoy it while you’re here. Being depressed benefits nobody, least of all the environment.
- kranke155 3y agoWildfires in Portugal have been out of control for almost a decade. The country has been in a technical drought situation for the past 6-8 years I think. This year there wasn’t enough water so a lot of small gourmet olive oil producers were not able to sell any stock. The fantasy of not being worried only exists in cities I think and it’s totally divorced from what’s happening in food production. Ask any farmer in southern Europe if they’re worried they’ll tell you they were worried 10 years ago.
