Pryor on Fire posted:D&D climate thread update: they are really concerned about all the doomers posting and they want to change the rules so they can make fun of the doomers. They have also concluded that no human can predict the future beyond 10 years anyway so just chill out. I think you read it wrong: the pushback is not against doomers, but rather posters like Thug Lessons.

Comatoast posted:For who? There is no representation in this country, and if there were someone to vote for then they'd lose because they weren't part of the Big 2 Parties. Yeah I don't think a "Give up and embrace the void" level of Climate Doomerism is helpful or wanted here. If we are taking the dome video at its word, there's nothing to be done but accept our demise. And frankly, that is neither useful discission nor helpful. We are not dead yet, nor are we likely, as a species, to fail anytime soon. So talking about the grieving process doesn't make a lot of sense because its not that final yet. Is it going to loving suck as climate change gets worse? Yup. It will. It already is. But that's not a reason to give up yet.

Rime posted:How Bad Is the Western Drought? Worst in 12 Centuries, Study Finds. Fueled by climate change, the drought that started in 2000 is now the driest two decades since 800 A.D. yeah it’s bad. unless we start draining the Great Lakes, and I support a massive straw-shaped pipeline to guzzle them dry to bring it all out west, southwest (and most of America’s food) is just on borrowed time. the difference between today and 30 years ago is just absolutely night and day. I’m not that old but I remember a vastly different southwest and have seen it become bad with each passing year

lolling if you can't read the writing on the walls regarding climate change based on what's happened with COVID. Like lol our power structures can withstand pretending like they don't understand cause and effect with a lead time of two weeks. Climate mitigation requires an understanding of and (messaging around) cause and effect on the order of decades or centuries. We're totally hosed. Lol

tuyop posted:lolling if you can't read the writing on the walls regarding climate change based on what's happened with COVID. yeah it’s been absolutely horrifying. if solutions that are as cheap as “lock down for 2 weeks” are absolutely off the table, how the gently caress are we gonna replace our entire energy and transportation infrastructure in just a few years? lol the simple, easy, cheap answer: we won’t. we won’t change poo poo. we’ll just keep burning oil and nat gas (and maybe desalinating to keep the golf courses green) until escalating food shortages cause a complete societal breakdown

Yep, I've been saying for like a year now that covid was a test run and we failed spectacularly. There's no way a bigger yet more diffuse threat is going to be dealt with in any kind of rational or just way

Covid was never an existential threat unless you were an obese 80-year-old. We knew that fairly early on. The reaction of politicians and the public at large was more of a concern. Are you just repeating reddit tropes without thinking about what you're saying?

the idea of "doing something" is rooted in the assumption that there is something you can do on a personal level to mitigate the effects of climate change i do not believe a personal action like this exists, because i do not believe climate change can be meaningfully mitigated under capitalism (when i say "meaningfully mitigated" i am acknowledging that a special hell is possible where we continue to somehow cling on to our dying world in suffering and agony) imo there are solutions, and they exist outside of capitalism. ending global capitalism, easy peasy. (unimaginable bloodshed and death) i'm not saying we can't get there, but getting there certainly wouldn't be through individual actions unless you are Lenin 2 Enhanced Edition. and yeah sure you can do local stuff to prepare to seize potential opportunities in the case of systemic upheaval (i do my part), but i'm not pretending like i have any power to actually mitigate climate change or get us any closer to doing so
