    Those last two points are just doomerism that is either

    1. Wrong and actively unhelpful, you’re discouraging people from helping
    2. Right and useless since all it does is spread negativity. If it’s all over, why make it worse for people?

      • Right, and with little proof to say otherwise. Climate scientists outside of fund-raising organizations and profit publications aren’t too optimistic.

      • I’m not going to sugar coat reality just because a person wants to believe everything is going to get better.

      We are fucked. Don’t be delusional. Focus on how we can best handle the inevitable disaster, instead of ignoring it and not making a plan for humanity to adapt as much as it can—in time.

        Things will absolutely get better. After the inevitable disaster, of course, and we may not be here to see it, but they will get better.

          Better is a very relative term. A ramp up to a hothouse Earth will be better for exotherms to spread out more. Doesn’t work well for most other species still here now.

          If it was just humans that were impacted, then I’d be sad about the lost potentials we may have had, but be fine with life going on for the rest. The crime is that we’re dragging down just about everything else with us.

          Humanity won’t be here to see it, but yes… there will still be a planet after human influence is washed away.
