Comment on Sounded great when I was young
Alloi@lemmy.world 3 days agoi love that you have held on to your hope for a clean future! just dont read into any scienctific projections, history, geopolitics, economics, human psychology, basic math, and disconnect from the internet while plugging your ears and screaming at the top of your lungs whenever anyone mentions record high temps, and you should be able to hold onto it a lot longer than i did! :D

Just like those who predicted the certain collapse that takes place before this millenium?
We have a problem? Yea no shit. Will everyone die soon™? Somehow these predictions always get postponed.

its not an overnight thing, so “soon” is relative. soon as in the next 4 to 8 generations based on 25 year increments. each one having a lower quality of life than the last. if so. yes, its “soon” and thats based on whether or not we kill ourselves first with nukes or can properly adapt the masses to a new way of living in that world.
also which collapse prediction specifically are you talking about? the rome accords? Y2K? the ozone layer? something like that?

lots to pick from, but I was kind of specifically thinking about ehrlich and the fantastic description of what life will be like in… 1970s!
