In confidence, they are all much more scared about the future we face, but they won’t admit that in public. I call this climate appeasement and I believe it only makes things worse. The world needs to know how bad things are going to get before we can hope to start to tackle the crisis.”

It would be nice if the media would stop framing every climate story as "what we can do to head off the disaster" and just be honest with their readers and explain to them that nobody is doing poo poo besides accelerating towards the catastrophe. There is no loving fork in the road ahead we are just stomping on the gas pedal as hard as possible to create more stock buybacks.

there's a lot less story to tell if you're up front that the holocene is over and a mass extinction event has irrevocably begun. not great for maintaining viewership imo but i dont run a media company.

The narrative of “we can fix this if we just recycle and use efficient lightbulbs” probably plays a lot better than “earth is doomed because you all kept using plastic straws, sorry”. If people really started to internalise the idea that catastrophe is unavoidable, they’d probably start behaving really unhinged, maybe even cancelling their news subscriptions. And they’re obviously never going to tell the real story of “earth is doomed because of the unimaginable brain–diseased greed of a few dozen billionaires”. Society will probably collapse with neighbours murdering each other for causing the end by throwing plastic bottles into the general waste; there will never be a widespread reckoning with the planetary apocalypse wrought by a few psychopaths with hoarding disease for numbers.

Confusedslight posted:Just lol that we are alive in these times. Stereotype posted:i want off this ride honestly I did move to the woods to idk...do non normal stuff like, hoard beans and what not. But I think really rob whatever his name cool zone podcast man was kind of right. Sure, it's all going to end horribly and there is zero chance of us doing anything about it that won't get you instantly prisoned in a rapidly worsening prison system and I'd rather starve in my bed than starve in a cell I guess. But old rob-o still thinks that "community building" and "dual power structuring" is like...the only way to like...earth ship the mole people to some possible future with printed out Wikipedia or whatever. I can't help escape the notion though that the long form organic project of these gay dead forums has always been (I'll get argued that is was just large scale game griefing) banding together, understanding the intricacies of systems, and exploiting them. Largely for fun, but exploiting them never the less. I have not found on the whole Internet a larger population of informed and very smart people that could certainly make as good a stand as anyone. I know your and my imagination immediately goes to pictures of 90s goon meets and that anything attempted would devolve into some on fire furry wife swapping hell stench of a barter town but...man can dream.

Increased depression amongst the populace forecasted. Now we just need to shift our marketing towards that! Everything is doomed you might as well buy this garbage product. Because nothing really matters anymore! Edit: I'm tired too. Confusedslight has issued a correction as of 01:52 on Jul 31, 2022 |

Don't forget that as the atmosphere warms the ability for it to hold more water vapor at all altitudes goes up, so the warming makes the H2O greenhouse factor even worse. This doesn't necessarily mean more clouds to increase albedo, just more greenhouse effect.
