    Have we gotten past the point if irreparable damage? Yes. Does that mean it’s pointless to reduce further damage as much as possible? Not even a little.

      Hopefully enough of our legacy survives that some future civilization’s archaeologists can sift through the vestiges of our history and learn an important lesson about the dangers of unfettered capitalism from the story of our downfall.

    The problem is human, it’s us and we’re not taking anything seriously. How much more ? April was the single largest increase in monthly ppm ever recorded

    The climates not the problem, we have any number of solutions. Lots of really easy stuff we’re not doing, like not flying and cycling and not driving cars, not replacing meat eating pets when they pass. Alll too inconvenient ? Yes ? Well that just makes my point. We assume our entitlment can continue with a few tweaks, well, we can fool ourselves and each other but nature cannot be fooled.

    Ask a behavioral expert not a climate scientiest. Can’t even get people to stop flying to a Taylor Swift concert or a football match what hope ?

    Fuck hope, Plan for the worst.
