Since I'm personally gonna die anyway whether this is a thing or isn't a thing, then honestly at this point I've just decided to not care and live my life as happily as possible with the time left (maybe humanity deserves it if it doesn't have the evolutionary makeup to make it out of this, I'm sure there's other species on other planets that will).

Yeah, I guess all the babies and other species deserve to be obliterated?

  So you propose to be unhappy and dwell on the things that one can't control? I have heard no realistic solutions, just soothsaying and hand wringing. Give me something real that I can do, that I'm not already doing, and I'll do it. I choose to not be miserable and panicked about it though-- it's a pointless exercise.

    Cool. Go to your city council meetings. Argue to remove minimum parking requirements. Argue for mixed use zoning. Support public transit projects, affordable housing projects. Check out: https://www.climatechangemakers.org/playbook-parking-mandates https://www.climatechangemakers.org/playbook-parking-mandate... https://www.climatechangemakers.org/preview-contact-your-city https://www.climatechangemakers.org/preview-contact-your-cit... Contact your local government leaders and tell them what policies you’re pissed about. It’s free and takes only 30 ish minutes of your time or less. Point is that we can organize and there are things we can do.

      Good ideas. Fortunately, most of these things aren't issues where I live.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

  You go ahead and fight if there's even a way to. I'm too tired to.
