When it comes to global thresholds .... if you think you are close to the threshold ... you're probably past the point of no return and you're in danger.
Friendly reminder: If you aren't fighting conservatism, you aren't fighting climate change.
I wish I had been old enough during the time we could've still made changes to make a difference. I try to do my best but sometimes I can't help but feel that the time to make serious changes and avoid catastrophe has passed. Good luck in what comes ahead, everyone.
There is coal, oil, and gas in the ground. There are forests yet standing. We're too late for no change — but not too late to make a very big difference in the outcome.
Even in the best case scenario of we stop doing anything at all that harms the planet this second, we will still be in for a hell of a time within like 20 years. Most people aren't willing to change their lives to this degree, so we will keep going down this path until its inevitable conclusion, the end of civilization as we know it. Anything less is a copium.
Success is far from guaranteed. But doom is in no way inevitable. I'll be fighting for every tenth of a degeee
I mean, at the rate we're heading for the cliff, seems like it will be a fight against everyone else on earth. This video I think summarizes it well

Why? When you cared back then the frustration must have been at least the same it is now. The hope might have been bigger, but at the same time, you would have been part of a very small minority. And I think it would have been hard to endure that almost nobody you know thinks similarly. You might have been the only doomer they know. And how fast we manage to screw up our planet, you would have likely gotten old enough to come to the same conclusion you came to now: we won't make it.
You're right. I should have been a better agent of change as a sperm.
Do what you can, anyway.
Weeeeee're fucked! :'D
People underestimate how much oxygen is generated by the sea until we start suffocating.
*slightly after we start suffocating.
Seven or nine?
Pffffft. Lame.
Call me when it’s twenty.
