It's already too late.
Yup, people wouldn't like the changes we would already have to make in order to save the planet
Like if people can't be bothered to boycott companies like Nestle how do you expect them to give up way more than some Nestle products for something they wont feel the worst effects off. If they lack empathy for living people how would they have it for future generations...
(Actually maybe because some of those people don't see living children as equal to potential future children because the color of their skin and their economic conditions we might actually have a chance)
I dunno, I think it's doable. The messaging, that is. Problem is who owns the messaging service, and do they want to comply. I'm old enough to just remember the ozone layer. Everyone cared! Worldwide. No one fought the message. We all chipped in. And it worked. The problem isn't that people don't or won't care, it's serving them an effective message and that won't happen when the people who own the media, own the mines.
too late in what sense? what is the inevitable event that will happen? humans are great at adapting, i'm sure we'd find a way
I agree. I used to be like the person above you. Now, I'm more like you are. I've spent less time being pessimistic and more time learning about ancient civilizations, and I gotta say... I feel confident that we'll press through the pressures and be better off for it.
People will still suffer and die, tho. I wish that part wasn't true... but as a species? We'll be just fine
