now that is what we have as a problem is, brushing it under the carpet isnt the way bud. you are trying to control what we are talking about which is very under handed. not fear- reailty its a fact if we dont change we die. i wont join in this post anymore now the thought police are here![]()
Thought police? Don't be silly. Unfortunately, when emotive issues (and this is one) are reduced to binaries of life and death, it becomes difficult to find common ground. Climate change deniers pull ranks and those trying to change our behaviour become more 'alarmist'. Look at global politics, division breeds best when two sides push isolated agendas.
I follow the science. There is nothing to suggest our extinction. We'll see a lot of displacement of population. Conflict over resources. War in places. But extinction isn't a certainty, not at least in human generational terms. On a long enough timeline, yes, we're screwed. But that is the reality of living on a ball of rock floating around a gargantuan and finite thermonuclear reaction.
I also follow the science on a global scale. And yes. It's bleak. But to engage all sides requires mitigation of fears. That we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel is clear. But so too, we need to reduce livestock farming to reduce methane output. The Siberian permafrost isn't so permanent now and it's a vast methane reservoir.
Yeah. It's bad. But we have time to avoid the worst outcomes.
