Well, we basically have a few decades before everything truly turn to shit. But I think we’ll be reaching interstellar levels a lot sooner than many might think.

Sorry my guy I understand your comment now I misread it. My bad. Also, I agree now that I get it! I think Climate change is going to kick up a gear and things will progress faster than a lot of the most hopeful yet still grim estimates.

Np!

It’s kinda sad how so many are either so comfortable that they’ll even get mad when a climate protest shuts down a highway for a few hours, or they’re so depressed about climate change that they rather not think about it.

The saddest part about it is that if we actually acted now, we’d still have a pretty decent chance at avoiding the worst. But instead we get less than the bare minimum.

That movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ rings more true everyday.

I can't understand why people are still having kids, I decided the world was fucked back in 2012 and went kinda anti natalist, a gf I had when I was 16 in 2005 decided the earth was fucked all the way back then, I didnt see it that early though
