the goon is correct most individuals in industrialized nations could almost certainly mitigate an entire ton of carbon emissions every year solely through individual action and then we would only have 33+ gigatons of emissions per year left to mitigate not counting growth

Is this DnD brigading today? Maybe we should embrace the goon other, regardless of their detestable nature. Perhaps they are going through the stage of anger, writhing and fidgeting under the weight of their neolib contradictions, prostrate before the undeniable evidence and constant stream of annecdotes that lay waste to their hope. Perhaps now is the time to embrace them, put them into sexy fox dog and cat costumes, and jettison them into the void?

Comatoast posted:No, its because it doesn't affect the vast majority of people. And we're overpopulated besides. “this specific category 6 hurricane only killed 2% of the population and scattered another 20%, it didn’t affect the vast majority of people.” which is dumb as gently caress when another one’s coming, and another, and also look at the effects of covid: it fucks with peoples brains, or gives them crippling side effects like diabetes or needing oxygen to live, but you’re right, it usually doesn’t kill a given person. when it affects people’s brains, it makes them more aggressive, more risk-taking, less memory, and less capable of critical thinking. we have no idea if these effects are permanent. what do you thinks gonna happen when the majority of america is brain damaged, always angry, and has a crippling need for resources? well, more so than usual? lol the same thing that’s always resulted from that: exploitation and horror. only this time we’ll be dumber, angrier, desperate, and armed with thousands of nukes

Covid isn't just about a mortality figure, or even the poorer health outcomes of people who survive infection but have long covid or lasting damage to their bodies. Covid has led to a transfer of vast amounts of money into the hands of the ultra-wealthy minority while further impoverishing the majority of people and public systems; it spurred a rapid increase of far-right radicalisation and spread conspiracy theories to a wider population; it strained global logistics and shipping in ways that haven't recovered; it swamped healthcare in ways that will have knock on effects for decades to come (assuming there is a meaningful form of healthcare for decades to come) due to a variety of things like healthcare worker burnout/death/disability and people not getting appropriate treatment or diagnosis for other illnesses (and that's not even getting into things like long covid and covid damage that non-obese 80 year olds still have to live with). It's driving an increase in evictions, housing insecurity, food insecurity and homelessness as more and more people have fewer resources and less support they can fall back on while facing increasing costs of living. In general, completely outside of all the people killed, covid has left the global population poorer, less healthy mentally and physically, stretched thinner and overall just less resilient and more vulnerable to further disasters. Those disasters are already happening to some and will increasingly happen to more and more of us until everyone and everything on the planet is affected in ways that dwarf the pandemic, yes. And yes, climate collapse would happen with or without covid and we're all going to die someday etc. However, the pandemic has increased how much people are suffering and will continue to suffer in a significant way beyond tallying the mortality rate. The pandemic response is particularly similar to climate change in that people who are invested in denying how bad it is like to focus on a specific number soundbite to say actually everything is fine while ignoring all the interconnected systems fracturing and collapsing all around us.

Could it be that our response to the Coronavirus disaster is related to how we handle other disasters like climate change? No, the Y Axis labeled "Population" isn't the same

Yep https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/3/31/21199917/coronavirus-covid-19-animals-pandemic-environment-climate-biodiversity quote:It’s because we are building roads between wild animals and human bodies. We’re using up a lot of land — for our cities, our mines, our farms — and while doing that, we’re destroying wildlife habitat. That’s why 150 species are going extinct every day. And the species that are remaining have to squeeze into these tiny fragments of wildlife habitat that we leave for them.

hot take: COVID is ultimately being driven by the same incessant capitalist forces driving petro burning. If we didn't have globally lovely and unclean practices around agriculture and getting meat in people's mouths, we'd have a lot less vectors. We've already seen many cases of animal-to-human transmission of abx resistant infections on US pig farms. If that happens enough times something real lovely will happen eventually. blatman posted:every time someone comes in here and starts bitching that nobody is taking personal action about climate change I just assume they're trying to see how many goons they can get arrested we're building rad suits and burying fifty year food supplies in underground bunkers with geothermal cooling, but I don't see how that will get me arrested, or be very useful in the long term.
