If you don't, you're either an idiot, or an optimist.
Some might say they're the same thing, but I'd disagree.
I HOPE we can get our shit together and maybe with a few lucky breakthroughs, can stabilize the climate and unfuck all the things we've fucked.
But I'm a cynical pessimist, and know even if those breakthroughs DID happen, theres a small percentage of the world who would then pump all their toxic shit into overdrive because "the environment can handle it now"
But still. Hopefully the species survives the next 1000 years. Most probably won't survive the next 150.
Damn. You really are delusional if you believe this will result in the extinction of humans.
No, if you really can't see how climate change is the end of civilization, then you're clearly just fucking stupid and it's pointless to carry on.
What? Who ever said the end of civilization?
We're talking about the extinction of humans. Learn to read.
