      Yeah, there’s alot of people feeling anxiety about it and we can see the world around us sliding, but the people who are ultimately responsible for trashing the environment are the ones who are feeling apathetic. They’ve gotten their wealth at the expense of the planet, and when things get shittier, they’ll hole themselves up in their silos and bunkers, each carrying on with their own Masque of the Red Death, but they’ll succumb in the end.

    The truth is that “western” countries will be “fine”. They have the money to build walls(for the rising sea and immigrants), cool and heat all the houses, buy/grow food, infinite energy. The cost of living will increase, the quality of life might decrease but nothing directly societal threatening.

    Climate change will mostly affect poorer countries, that are already struggling to survive. Those countries cant really afford to do anything. And people in those countries will have to decide between dying or migrating. So the only “issue” for the “West” is the mass migration that will be caused by climate change.

      Stupid take. The headline was true and the call to action happened. But then people went back to doing stupid shit and using chemicals again. You might be too young to remember the ozone hole and how it healed and now it’s getting worse again.

      But oh no! Headlines continue to come as they get ignored and things get worse and worse.
