The climate has been changing forever. Mesopotamia was once fertile and tropical, now it's Iraq. Humans survived the ice age. There is no such thing as a constant environment.
Are humans causing climate change? Absolutely. Is the world going to become uninhabitable? No. We adapt, we use technology. Don't depress yourself into nihilism. Apocalyptic thinking has a rich history, you are becoming a member of yet another fad.
- MattRix 3y agoThis is pure hubris. It is absurd to say “don’t worry, we’ll adapt” while also telling the people who care about climate change that they’re taking this too seriously.
- monero-xmr 3y agoI'm not saying "don't care", but to literally think the human race is going to go extinct, and to stop reproducing or wish people would stop, and to live in general anxiety and fear, is absurdly ridiculous.
- forgotmyinfo 3y agoYes, and when the climate changes too much, everything dies. I mean, I don't see too many dinosaurs left. The sheer hubris to think that it can't happen again...
- the_doctah 3y agoYes the climate changes quite rapidly when an massive asteroid strikes the planet

- monero-xmr 3y agoSome would wish to end the human race, suicide, stop reproducing. My solution is to just adapt, create new technology, get air conditioners. I'm old enough to remember the UN telling us we would all be dead from climate change by the year 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Environment_Programme#:~:text=UNEP%20in%201989%2C%2034%20years,the%20effects%20of%20climate%20change%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Environment_Pro....
