How are you coping with climate change? (self.asklemmy)

This has been a doozy of a year. And it's the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won't die of old age?

Likely we will just inject sulfur into the atmosphere with unknown consequences.

Kind of the only hope we have left at this point. One which I'm desperately holding onto.

Articles about insect populations being decimated by something like 70%... They are the ones most vulnerable to climate change, and they're all dying. How people can see that and not understand is mind boggling.

The insect population part really is staggering, huh? I remember how disgusting my grandma's station wagon got in the 90s traveling. Now I pretty much never really "need" to clean my windows off from bug guts. Usually dust.

I think we should put up a metal blanket in space. Tbh all the space junk and satellites are already doing that a little
