Warming trends over the past five years have led to a seasonal invasion of grasshoppers. welp sometimes it trends towards locusts what're you're gonna do

This is not what I signed up for. I used to be a doomer and degrowther. That was how we were trained in the environmental disciplines during my MS at Michigan and my PhD at UCLA. But once I started to learn about technology and disruption, which virtually none of my colleagues had any understanding of at all, my view of the future changed completely.

I finally analysed the thread survey results. I don't have time to make it a more readable image though, sorry the response rate is about the same as last time (~100 responses) though with much less spam and poo poo, which made my job easier this time. still, there's probably not enough data to draw any meaningful, statistically significant conclusions here, like whether a certain group is truly more or less hopeful about the future. but we can pretend. anyway hope you found it interesting! edit: oh by the way, these are averages, not medians. i was comfortable using averages this time because there were no major outliers.

i find it very interesting that the people that want children are both the most doomer and most hopeful of the three groups e: but yeah small sample size so maybe not going to read too much into that

I want children specifically because I'll be setting up a constitutional monarchy in my Bartertown and will need to set term limits to appear fair but can get around this by using my bloodline to keep an ongoing series of puppet governments I control in charge of who gets rat pelts and water rations

There's no way there weren't people submitting "next year" for collapse, I need to see what trimming methodology was used before I could possibly accept that chart.

this society can still organize to achieve things but only stuff like demonizing trans people or attending a tswift superspreader concert. people can still come together but only when boycotting performative gay beer or lighting off explosives en masse in solidarity with the immolated boreal forest. it isn’t easy to maintain and administer the status quo, in fact it’s increasingly energy intensive.

We may collapse by 2030. We may collapse by 2040. Will Something Awful continue on beyond those years? I hope so, I want to keep on posting. I got another 10-20 years of posting left. That's an amazing, positive outlook. More charts! More dome! More lmao! The number is eternal.

FFT posted:Bullshit. There's no way I was the only one to call 2027 based on the thread favorite:  people like a nice round number but there's a startling density of guesses falling within this decade. there's also 6 posters who think the collapse is either already happening or will happen before the year is out. Of course, the biggest caveat of all is that i let people define 'collapse' for themselves. If someone defines it as "internet stops being a thing" and someone else defines it as "average life expectancy across the globe hits 25" then they might pick different dates even if they completely agree on the timeline of specific things happening Next thing i'm gonna do is trawl through those supplied definitions to look for some common themes

re: podcasts i've been listening to cbc ideas lately which is replaying an old david suzuki radio program about climate change from 1989 and it's pretty surreal. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/david-suzuki-s-survival-guide-a-retrospective-1.6894102 30 years ago we were saying basically the same things we're saying now

humanity's collective shrug at climate change will be an interesting thesis project for an anthropology student five hundred years from now once we've rebuilt enough to have academics again. assuming any of our records from now survive worth a drat, the only stuff they might have is whatever unencrypted tape archives and doc boxes they pull out of centuries-abandoned mines
