I've checked with the scientists, and they wanted me to let you know that things are actually basically okay. Heck, they're even getting better!

Everything is going to be fine.

The fact that everyone isn't sufficiently alarmed and pessimistic is poetically enough sufficient proof that the doomers are correct. We'll never solve this and the reaction of the general public is all you need to look at

Pretty much like now only more intense, the current atmosphere of. Imminent violence now one of constant low grade conflict, political and economic stagnation more evident, even more firm barriers between social classes, and all the while people proclaiming that things aren't that bad uet

I still think the idea that you can fix climate change with a solar shade is hilarious though and so I’m leaving the original remark.]

lmfao yeah guys we can totally fix this with a solar shade hahaha

humans and our insane civilization are already dead. if you’ve been reading this thread and don’t understand that it is time to move onto the next phase of grief

it sucks that there is going to be so much suffering between here and there but hey maybe we get lucky and have an anoxic event

Thank you. This is a much needed dose of reality and clearly my pessimism is related to personal issues, such as the fact that I'm 330 pounds and live in my mother's basement

yep. I've checked with the scientists and they told me this is all okay. Having the thousand year storm now means that the next 999 years are storm free.

It's very eco-fascist that 2 billion humans will be displaced or die in the next decade. I'm on the phone with the manager of the biosphere to file a complaint right now.

"this is the only thing that would save the biosphere" is only an endorsement of the thing if you think saving the biosphere is necessary and given that it's the same biosphere that made us and hosed itself in the first place I don't think that's true

no it isn't. it's ecofascist to say that humans have to die to fix things. how the hell do you confuse those two things?

Yeah well promoting ANY sort of action requires a bare minimum of some sort of world left to care about.
"TOTAL DEATH" scenarios is just an escapist fantasy to not have to think about the real world after poo poo hits the fan.

I am very conscious when i bring up any doomer poo poo to others, to say that this will NOT be the end of the world. Because it makes people totally disengage.

It's the end of the current one, and the beginning of an era of untold misery and death.

Who gives a loving poo poo if it's ecofascist or "deep ecology" or whatever dumbass word people invented if it's point blank physics

The less people there are in existence the better the biosphere behaves. How is this not a fact? even if it doesn't "fix" climate change for the next 500 years. That only speaks to how hard we hosed things up that not even if we all just Jonestown'd ourselves would we fix any of this.

The implication that holding this belief must mean you are fascist because surely the means to "solve" that is to "kill a bunch of people" through necessarily fascist politics is just a leap purely for the sake of entertaining your DnD brain and argue about stupid bullshit for 3 pages

Because it's white first worlders who will be manning the guns and bombs to protect the imperial core and the insane consumption habits of Americans. Eco-fascism exists in your mind, the reality is regular fascism to keep this poo poo rolling at the expense of everyone else. Same as it ever was.
