I'm doing what I can, and encourage others to do the same cuz why not; but also under no illusion that our efforts are going to even delay our extinction by a meaningful amount.

We're at the mercy of some miracle-tier scientific breakthroughs, or literal divine/extraterrestrial intervention. There's a shred of hope in the former, but realistically, we're fucked.

Your "realistical" conclusions are parroting oil industry astroturfing lies. We are not doomed because the research is made by them and they are unrelenting in their lobbying and sabotage. Trump destroyed movements and research and every swine with money will continue to sabotage progress on mother earth until we make them stop. Then it ends. Don't be a problem in this class war and choose sides

Hey now, we won't go extinct. Some of the ultra wealthy will likely survive in their bunkers! That's probably comforting right

Oh they'll probably last a few years longer than the rest of us, but their bunkers will only keep em ticking until the AC unit breaks, or... y'know, the plants and algae on the surface die and stop producing O2 and their tanks run out.

The problem is your dooming inspires others to give up.

one big disease could thanks snap the population. how we would survive afterwards is another question.

but high pop loads lead to more chance of drastic collapse.
