I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I'm tired of being reminded of this ten times over when I feel the most powerless to stop it than I've ever felt in my life. Now more than ever, all I see is a neighboring government undoing the little progress that we've made in the past decades I've spent worrying. I no longer see the way out like I used to. This only makes me feel miserable.
I no longer see the way out like I used to.
Don't worry, the next step is not even caring about it.
Is it worse for the world? Yes.
Is it easier on you, personally? Absolutely.
Regards for like 30 years people kept saying I worry too much. I could never let go. Never. Then something broke a few months ago or smth.
And this is what I look like now.
Apathy is the greatest weapon of the oppressor. It fucking got me. Don't let it get you, if possible.
It's not that I don't pay attention or try to conserve energy, but I'm so powerless to affect real change. It kills me to be raising children in this world.
Exactly. You try to conserve water and use less power to try to help the planet, meanwhile Elon Musk is burning several million tons of gas to run Grok.
Try out meat free Mondays.
They'll stop factory farming so much if less people buy meat.
Can we ban the phrase "politics isn't my thing"? Saying it is punishable by 1 hour in the nearest town stockade.
People are disenfrenchised. Why should they care more about the weather than the medical system, corruption, wild animals or all the other problems. People know, they are just trained to not get involved.
Showing the problem trains them to ignore it more. What they need is confidence in their own abilities.
Krakatoa dropped the global temperature by a degree for several years. All we need is multiple Krakatoa scale eruptions to solve this problem forever!

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same.
Yeah, this battle is, unfortunately, lost. It is now too late to stop what is coming. Keep in mind that the effects we're witnessing are from emissions 10-20 years ago, and the global total continues to rise and will likely continue for the foreseeable future. If you haven't yet, don't procreate. If you have already, don't continue to.
I live in SW france, +40°C today, 3 months with barely a drop of rain. It's pretty obvious this region is going to look like Extremadura in a decade or 3.
