Climate change will destroy our civilisation unless we act quickly enough (and some of the damage is already baked in). So it’s simply not a given that society will continue to get better, that’s really up to governments and their people to make it happen.

independantiste@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoObjectively the world is a much better place than it was even 30 years ago. Child mortality rate, global education, life expectancy, extreme poverty and many more are subjects that have seen drastic improvements and will continue to get better. The reality is apart from a few cases, the world is much better than it was and it will keep getting better. And unless a new world war comes in, nothing will stop this progress.

Most of those things were built on cheap oil and a stable climate, which means they were borrowed and now the bill is coming due.
