not only is the non-response to covid very similar to the ongoing non-response to climate change, i saw a study linking extinction events, bats and virus that made it seem like there was a non-zero chance that climate change is partially responsible for viruses like COVID, so lmao

Voting matters, as representatives then enact the will of the majority. There are many more poor people than rich ones. Result: Everything that happens is the will of poor people and rich people are just along for the ride.

Cold on a Cob posted:maybe i'm just emotionally keyed up but the poo poo currently going down in my country has taught me that we are absolutely not going to be anywhere near ready for the collapse of our biosphere or our governments A key takeaway from covid should be that you probably won't see the bullet coming. Sure, you might be aware of the crisis that finishes you off in a very general sense, but you're still going to need to go to work and someone is going to say that you should go out to Applebee's and live your life. It's going to be nearly impossible to know when the actual moment has arrived that things are falling apart around you, because normalcy bias will dominate right up until that last second. Even then, people who aren't immediately affected will be saying it's no big deal as your body gets dumped in a mass grave.

Comatoast posted:If I could Thanos Snap half of the population away, then I’d give it at least three or four snaps. I never would have suspected Im one of the few actual doomers in the thread. oh okay you didn't learn a single loving thing. it's okay, the majority of the posters in this thread remain.  Paradoxish posted:A key takeaway from covid should be that you probably won't see the bullet coming. yeah pretty much. just look at the people already dying from climate change: in a general sense, you're aware that bad stuff is happening in Other Places. things are disrupted, florida got hit with a nasty hurricane, weird weather in chicago, etc. those things will continue to escalate, along with increasing violence. look at the people who've lived through a war: you spend years hearing stories of battles in other places, and hoping against hope it never arrives in your village. but it's always a surprise when your area, specifically, gets hit with an insane heat dome. or when the resupply trucks just never show up at your local supermarket, and stop coming altogether. or when you realize side A and side B are both converging on your area.

I haven't bathed in 6 days. Not only does this reduce my water and power consumption, but it also reduces my chances of accidentally procreating. I'm doing my part to end climate change.

Fly Molo posted:it’s always a bit disconcerting when you’re the office climate doomer and someone else brings up water shortages or wildfires We had four separate WTF weather events in the last 12 months. Perhaps it is a passing acknowledgement that will get memory holed when next year is 'fine', but it is a thing here currently. It was a bit eye-opening mumbling doom over the last 6 months and having people just straight up agree, no arguing about semantics or timelines.

a general sense of pervading doom seems to be starting to really infiltrate the normalosphere. Even people who I generally look to to have a break from the constant dread and maybe get an optimistic chuckle have essentially turned to a grim and depressing acceptance that the end is here, that our current everything can't sustain itself much longer even in the short term. I think covid really opened a lot of eyes to just how uncaring those who have power are to a lot of americans, sure there are still a lot of noisy fuckers saying everything is ok back to brunch, but overall, the rare times I'm able to converse with human beings in person in my hazmat suit its just an acceptance that we are completely and absolutely hosed. I'm kind of sad that it seems like so far at least we see acceptance before like any sort of real revolutionary movement, oh well. #goodbye
