Everything will go to shit because of climate change anyway

[UnbelievableJelly]

I feel like collapse is near (like 5/10 years from now) and I don't see the point in struggling knowing nothing but more pain and misery awaits. I used to be involved in trying to help people but if we're all going to die horribly of starvation or heat waves anyway what is the point? I wish I had more courage to spare myself from what's coming. Damn SI

 

[KillingPain267]

Yeah it's all so absurd and meaningless

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I don't believe climate change is a real thing. I believe weather is cyclical and runs in cycles. Right now, we're just experiencing a "warm up" period, which may well go on for decades, at least, maybe much longer. But, it will come to an end and temperatures will begin to fall again. I just can't understand how humans keep thinking that they know best and need to keep intervening into everything. This planet has been taking care of itself for billions of years and will continue to do so.

Collapse (climate at least) is nowhere near 5 or 10 years. Humanity will not cease to exist, we will find ways to circumvent it as we always do, although I believe many will suffer because of it.

It's further away than that. I think some kind of collapse of our industrial civilisation is more likely than not before the end of the century (i.e. probability greater than 50%, but certainly less than 100%), and I think the most probable timeframe is some time between 2040 and 2080. If and when it happens, about 90% of the world's population will die, of starvation (even if we manage to avoid nuclear war), and the survivors will find themselves in a pre-industrial world. Imagine living in the year 1700, or earlier - but without the skills that people had then. Those skills will have to be re-learned.

Now that's just silly, why do you think that

Why do I think that? Because I have been giving serious thought to these matters for more than half a century.
Why do you think it's silly?

Climate change doesn't care wether you think it's real or not.

this. lolin at anyone who still somehow thinks its fake with over a century of human data and billions of years of geologic data clearly showing we're singlehandedly causing a mass extinction. society's only been around for like 10-15,000 years, this rapid change of temp didnt happen through any of that, only now. outliers being natural disasters like supervolcano eruptions that caused a cooling in 536 are still not comparable to what we've done in a single century. natural cycles of heat and cold take thousands to millions of years to occur. climate scientists warned us en masse fucking 55 years ago (and earlier on smaller scales) and gas/oil/coal companies amd capitalism ignored it. then, worst of all, humans at large ignored it. we will survive global warming of our own doing but the problem is that so many other things have already gone extinct and are getting closer to collapsing ecologies. weve become so disconnected from how we rely on nature to fucking function that the mentality of "its all fucked anyways" is normal. its exactly what bigass corporations want: malicious compliance of the worst possible kind. go listen to environmental scientists who have ideas. implement them, fucking DO something, it doesnt HAVE to be hopeless jfc people

I wouldn't expect it to, since it's neither real, or an entity of some sort with cognitive ability.

Climate change is scientific fact. It has literally happened before. Denying that is pure delusion.

We may not have caused it, but we most definitely are contributing to its acceleration.

Anyone who thinks the world is on an uptick has their head so far up their own ass in denial.

 

[Nikitatos]

When I was a little kid, they tried to scare us with "global cooling".

49 NASA scientists wrote a letter to the Washington Post saying global warming was bs......... right around the time the world's leading climate "scientists" got caught red-handed with fraudulent research.

I really thought that would be the end of the fear mongering. But I guess when there's trillions of dollars and massive power at stake, people just keep telling their lies.

If you understand basic science, you can do the research yourself. Science is science. It's easy to spot fraud in any branch of science. I studied Physics in college and I used the same "tricks" the IPCC scientists used. When there's 10 minutes left before the lab closes and your experiment is still not working right, you just make stuff up. Have they scrubbed ClimateGate e-mails from the web?? Does Al Gore's movie not exist any more?? They've already been proved wrong a million times. The top climate scientists claimed EXPONTENTIAL warming in 2002. Clearly, that didn't happen.

Back in 2002, they told us New York City would be underwater by 2016 if we didn't act. The ABC "news" report is still on YouTube.

The older you get, the more you realize the lies that are told and why they're told. I feel bad for anyone affected by climate change fearmongering.

 

[delusional-reality]

Yeah, it is all absurd, we are fighting in vain.

At the end of a fight, there are no winners, just losers.

And before our climate wrecks us, the third world war will, because Putin is going to declare a war.

And that justifies my suicide a little bit more, also that im misanthropic, and nihilistic.

Life is f*cking absurd man, f*cking absurd.

I'm rooting for giant meteor.

He doesn't give a shit about actually saving the planet, he just has delusional dreams about colonizing mars. Be real.

No, he is the messiah, it is written in the Bible.

Outside of an asteroid impact or a close proximity gamma ray burst the human race is going to be fine. The Earth has been much hotter in the past and we're not even close to some of those environments. Ironically if you look at the paleontology records Mass extinctions occur when it gets really cold and you always have huge upswells when things get hot. I don't know if you're banking on things ending in five to 10 years but I really wouldn't count on it.

Either way I think the best approach is to just enjoy the time that you have. I made a mistake when I was younger I was so worried about the future that it ended up costing me the present. The past is gone the future is no guarantee all you have is the present. Being content with the present is the best thing you could possibly do.

Best of luck to you I hope you're able to find things that you enjoy. If you ever change your mind my Dm's are always open take care friend
