The more I see reports like this the more, hopeless I feel. Sometimes, I get to a point where I’m not even depressed but deeply numb by the catastrophe that is happening. Mass insanity we see, mass insanity.
“We don’t want this to be interpreted as six years to save the planet,” study co-author Christopher Smith, a University of Leeds climate scientist, said. “If we are able to limit warming to 1.6 degrees or 1.65 degrees or 1.7 degrees, that’s a lot better than 2 degrees. We still need to fight for every tenth of a degree.”
I appreciate the tenacity of these people, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s virtually hopeless at this point. I still try to choose environmentally friendly options, and I act as if things might change for the better, because hey, maybe I’m wrong. I don’t want to be a bigger part of the problem than I already am. Still, though, I’m pretty sure humanity is screwed.
Here’s how I see it: the people who can do the most won’t be motivated to make drastic changes until things get bad. Unfortunately, by the time things get bad, it’ll be far too late. Simple. Depressing, but simple.
I’ve accepted this harsh reality as well.
So… We’ll probably be there by 2027 or 2028.
They should told us 2025-2026 but i dunno if this lie will speed up their action or if they will just enjoy soaking in a bath of banknotes
Yeah, same. Just growing numb to the hell that awaits.
Exactly, might as well enjoy it while it lasts
