And 7 of 9 boundaries have been crossed?

This is starting to look more like the movie _Don't Look Up_.
- 100721 8mo agoWasn’t that film explicitly about climate change denial?
- weirdmantis69 8mo agoWell it was a metaphor I guess but I certainly took it that way.
- netsharc 8mo agoI agree, but it seems most of the "messaging" nowadays is "Well, the outlook is 'we're fucked', but we still need to do something, or the outlook will be 'we're very fucked!'", which still falls on deaf ears... I remember someone saying another form of denial is the denial that "we" will be affected badly. A friend said "Well, I'll turn on my AC, I'll be fine!". Or "I'm sure some technological Deus ex Machina will save us! Any day now!".
- NicuCalcea 8mo agoHaven't heard the "it's fine to burn the planet for AI data centres because AI will eventually solve climate change" argument in a while, it was pretty common in the early days.
- tim333 8mo agoThe biggest entry in their 9 boundaries pie chart is: >Novel entities: Technological developments introduce novel synthetic chemicals into the environment, mobilize materials in wholly new ways, modify the genetics of living organisms... which I'm not sure is really a climate catastrophe thing.
