frytechnician posted:This thread is probably the most depressing thing I've ever read. Irreversible destruction of life, denial and manipulation that it isn't happening from short term thugs. The world's littered with the bones of civilizations that thought they would last forever. Ours is the latest on the queue. Do what good you can in the present-term, don't have kids.

Kenzie posted:Why die now? Aren't you curious about what exactly is gonna happen in the coming decades? How it's all gonna play out? If any of the doomsday poo poo we talk about is actually gonna come true, it's gonna be one hell of a thing to witness. "Morbid curiosity" isn't much of a reason to wake up in the morning. I can sympathize with that guy to an extent, though the melodrama is really tedious - I've got next to no surviving family and not much of a social circle, but still found a little bit of optimism in the world at large, that ever-uphill climb, march of progress, et cetera, et cetera. Knowing instead that civilization as we know it is going to swirl down the spout sometime in the next half-century takes away even that small consolation, and the recent election is just the cherry on top of the poo poo sundae. It's enough for me to stop bothering with my 401k, at the very least. Even if I do live long enough to hit retirement age, something tells me I won't want to stick around for much longer after that.

Potential BFF posted:In 600 million years the carbonate silicate cycle will probably be disrupted to the point that there is no carbon left in the atmosphere and photosynthesis as it exists now will be impossible so we have that to look forward to! By then the sun's expansion will have probably taken care of any remaining life on the planet anyway.

Cross-post from USPol/Trump thread: Al Gore is personally re-hosting the CDC climate change conference. The AltNatPark Twitter account is also at 1.2 million followers and rapidly climbing. We might be doomed, but attempts to muzzle how doomed we are haven't been going well.

ChairMaster posted:Jesus Christ what a lot of effort put toward trying to convince people that there is a way to nonviolently dismantle the entirety of capitalism and consumerism in an incredibly short period of time, costing everyone in the world who matters even a little bit billions upon billions of dollars. I have to admit, all of your points would be a lot more convincing if they weren't coming from an obese retail worker who literally suffered an hours-long panic attack because he made eye contact with a girl once. For someone who goes on and on about how nothing matters except making your life better, you seem pretty content with wallowing in your lovely life and trying to make everyone else's that little bit worse.

smoke sumthin bitch posted:i read this whole thread and if these guys are correct the earth is about to enter feedback loop mechanism which will heat up this bitch like a microwave and we crossed the rubicon a long rear end time ago. its already way too late to save the planet even if somehow world wide economic degrowth is imposed and deniers are genocided. I personnaly dont believe any of this but if its true then we should adopt a live and let live mantra for the time we have left on this planet It's going to be such a good day when your junkie rear end dies.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:So why are so few people alarmed about climate change? Our 'leaders' treat it as a small issue, the media rarely covers it, people in general may say they think it's a huge issue but then they just continue business as usual, consuming and polluting. Is it because most of them think they're old enough they won't feel the full effects? Do a lot of people actually think it's a hoax and all of the scientists are lying to them? I am honestly unsure. Even my (soon to be ex) wife says that the world will be poo poo to live on in 30 years if we don't change things and she still wants kids The imminent collapse of global civilization isn't something that one easily wraps their head around without incurring a little bit of severe psychological damage. People are used to dealing with problems closest to them and nothing else.

call to action posted:You couldn't be further off base. How much happiness, and art, and creation do you see coming from displaced Syrian refugees? Some, certainly, but nowhere near as much as you'd see if they were still living their semi-prosperous lives from the 2000 or so era. That's my point, that we're not going to soft-land into a place where we just live in log cabins again. "You must be THIS CULTURED to persist as a species"

Making vague gestures towards a "geoengineering degree" isn't any sort of life improvement, bucko. You're going to die the way you lived and NZ is probably full up on fat and friendless register jockeys.
