We should ask FYAD what their thoughts are on all this. I bet they'd have some good wisdom to share in the matter.

Reduce reuse recycle and limit greenhouse gasses. Who do you think all those companies are producing their single-use garbage for? You could start setting a good example by not double-spacing, the extra space is very wasteful. You're not writing on a typewriter, anyways.

Harrow posted:There is research that suggests that focusing on advocating for personal-level action can actually dull the will for governmental/societal-level action, for a few reasons, but partially because it can make it seem like governmental action is not needed if we all just "do our part Individual action does inform societal action. And yes, we all do need to "do your part", there's no magic bullet. People just say that individual action doesn't matter because they want to feel better about not doing anything, and can't be honest to themselves.

Uh it didn't really. Like yeah some bounce back sortve.But after the KT mass extinction the tree of life basically became a stump with one branch left. And all plant and animal life we've ever seen as a species has basically been that branch. gently caress I wish i still had my old geology profs lecture for that he explained it really well. Also yes OP planets dying. Super fast too.

People just say that individual action doesn't matter because they want to feel better about not doing anything, and can't be honest to themselves. I don't think you're right about that. You're accusing people who don't consciously reduce of wanting to feel better about doing nothing, but by focusing on your individual actions you're doing the same thing. Neither option is going to reverse or stop climate change. The individual consumer is a grain of sand. Governments and corporations tell you to focus on your individual actions because it reduces the onus on them to make substanial changes at their own cost. They're the ones with all the power to enact the top level systemic changes that would actually reduce emissions at a level which would have an impact. None of us have the power to do that. Bickering over the morality of individual consumption is performative. It's just re-directed individualist ideology serving it's purpose as a distraction. By all means ditch your car, don't fly and eat local, but it isn't going to save the world. roomtone fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Aug 14, 2021 |

*pushes up glasses* Ehm, well technically, even if we turned the entire planet into molten lava down to level of the lowest microbes and blew off the entire atmosphere, that ball of dead dead rock is still technically a planet. Humans and all life will be gone, but the planet will be fine. I watched a Carlin bit about this and am very clever. No, I don't understand anything beyond the literal meanings of things at all. What the hell is nuance and colloquial speech?

I took this video of the monsoon in Phoenix tonight, as you can see if you watch the whole thing Mother Nature is making concentrated efforts to destroy our airlines. Not so motherly after all? We are lucky her reflexes are so slow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6MI5VNleQg (living so close to the airport in phoenix owns if you like watching planes fly in front of storms, but it doesn't own for any other reason) deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Aug 14, 2021 |

The biggest we're hosed must be even if all 7-8 billion of us all died or hosed off right now there's still what? 150-250 years before the system begins to visibly right itself? Just 2-4 Gens living a brighter future underground in Vaults that definitely don't even remotely technologically exist. We might be hosed but were dragging every gorgeous godamn creation the bizarre riot of life graced our world with. And all 4 billion years of its history. All for Air Conditioning, Gasoline and any plastic we've ever touched. I hate it. I hate how most of my interaction with humanity at large always feels like you're the smart kid on the group project stuck doing all the work because everyone else is too dumb and yolo's out.

Inept posted:time to take after the billionaires and build a bunker in new zealand and gently caress sheep What do you think we are down here, uncouth welshmen? We make love to our sheep and would never let a billionaire have their way with them. roomtone posted:I don't think you're right about that.

The individual consumer is a grain of sand. I think you're right in that the bickering is actively harmful but I see individual change as a neccessary but not sufficient condition for things to get better. We're probably not going to get the neccessary centralized change needed so I wouldn't criticize someone for not making much in the way of individual changes. Like that other fellow though I feel strongly enough about making some efforts to do so that not doing so would make my life worse. In conclusion the only hope for global civilization is a violent coup in America post haste and that's still a massive longshot.

God will save us. He told me himself he has some trill rear end plans for this planet m. All the hot poo poo in the atmosphere will probably really help with allergies and congestion. If you steam some water on your electric stove top you can see this in action. It's really crazy how God do that.
