We are making progress with the human causes of climate change, but if you’re looking at actual temperature change, the result, you’ll need to look ahead

The problem is even if we 100% fix climate change we are still gonna devastate the planet, well kill off our society at the least. Like we can’t remove 90% of biomass and expect no repercussions down the foodchain, we can’t keep overfishing and expect fish to still be there, and we can’t expect our crops to grow when we destroy the topsoil ecosystem. We are fucked

There have always been existential threats and it’s certainly true now, but it hasn’t happened yet. A bit of a tautology, but where there’s hope, there’s hope. As long as we don’t give up, as long as we tackle the important issues ahead, as long as we can picture the society that can live past it, we can make it happen

Who is we? We seem intent on killing 99% of us to keep 1% happy
