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?

I explained why right after that next sentence if you keep reading

The ozone layer was worse in 2023 compared to 2022 so idk how that's "on track" but okay

Because if you read, it was predicted to be an anomaly and not a trend

[–] LustyArgonianMana 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They don't know what's causing that anomaly. So it could indeed be a trend.

[–] aidan 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It could be, but why do you assume it is?

Why don't you? If there was a 98% chance your car could explode if you went 30mph-80mph, would you be cautious about going 29mph? Wouldn't you not get close to the lower reference range?

Because that lower reference range is still the reference range. 2025 is still the lower end of the reference range for AMOC collapse, which we expect to have cascading consequences including possible earthquakes and volcanoes.

And honestly, attitudes like yours are exactly what convinced me we were going to die tbh. The people who dissociate and refuse to acknowledge any kind of negative reality because they don't enjoy the biochemical state of being upset. The pandemic, the election - people like you who gaslight about what we can literally see in front of our faces - I get it. You refuse to accept there's a problem so we all will die for it. Cool. I already know. You don't have to keep trying to convince me you all are in severe denial. I won't join you.
