I just feel so powerless against this shit. In the UK people are still discussing these issues through the lens of "will trying to do something about the environment make people more or less likely to vote for me?" which is obviously the wrong question. It's not a matter of voting, or even protesting, it's a matter of all the power being in the hands of evil fucks who have determined that they would rather do nothing.

If that happens people will die. Lots of people. Europe will lose a significant portion of its ability to grow food in the short- to mid-term. We’re talking four horseman level stuff here. Famine, pestilence, war, death.

Luckily we will likely reach the CO2 emission peak in the next few years: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/on-climate-change-and-management/

I can really recommend reading that article to anyone desperate about feeling of inactive politicians and impending apocalypse.

While climate change will make the world more dangerous there is still hope. I'm quite positive that humanity will find a way to deal with the fallout of the climate crisis although there will be lots of suffering sadly.
