The really fun part about climate change is that if you ignore potentially self-limiting events such as the total destruction of industrial civilization then the problem is really unbounded, at least in terms of limits that would matter to an individual human. It can just keep getting worse and worse and worse which, if you want to be optimistic about things, means there's always a chance to prevent things from reaching some undefined worst case scenario.

I was listening to a podcast and got an ad for a new season of the Happiness Labs podcast that talks about climate change and happiness and poo poo and I drove my car off the road and died when they were really cheerfully talking about eating steak and still being green because they'll maximise they're enjoyment now and try to eat less co2 intensive foods the rest of the week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29CC7-34nJw Write this on my tombstone quote:I also just struggle with the notion of completely giving up meat but I do like this idea that when I have it I should notice it and be like I am going to appreciate this and especially you know I have not even completely given up Steak I will still we don't have it at home anymore so it's something that I'll have like out at a restaurant and I'm like oh this is you know a special night I'm having steak I am definitely going to order a glass of wine I'm going to max out my pleasure here and so recognizing that when we're you know indulging in some carbon instead of feeling guilty about that we could go okay you know what this is a special treat and then you know in our daily lives try to be having more of these low carbon meals and the science really supports the idea that when we do these things like less often and we do them with more savoring they can increase more pleasure niethan has issued a correction as of 10:58 on Jan 16, 2024 |

There's a prevalence of therapy concerns in climate discussions ("Give me a reason to live" from that stupid NYT interview is a good summation) that I feel will keep getting bigger in the first world as reality sets in. Climate change is real, but it's important for my mental health to act as if it's not. So what do you do when its consequences intrude into everyone's life?

Until then it's a slow burn. The rising water table pecking away at infrastructure doesn't make everyone pack up and leave at the same time.

americans eat on average 60lbs of beef per year, over a pound a week. if you cut beef out of your diet 'at home' or just generally most of the time, but then have one fancy restaurant steak dinner every other month, you are consuming 90% less beef than average. 90% reductions in the #1 dietary source of emissions is a plenty reasonable goal.
