People more powerful than you can dream with their arms up world government "leaders" asses telling them what to do and say are going to enforce maximum profit at the planet's expense until the apocalyptic day they retreat to the luxury climate bunkers they've been building around the world, look it up, they are. It's not a conspiracy.

Then they'll keep barking orders to keep burning the world for profit remotely from comfort and safety until the last capitalist true believer sycophant on the other end finally tells them to fuck off and die and hangs up, damage done.

It isn't too late because we couldn't, as a species mitigate some of the worst effects with concerted, global effort. It's too late because the egotistical, sociopathic world oligarchs that own you and I in every practical way have zero interest in the survival of our species after they've left the stage of life, and they'll play this planet like a harp from hell for every fucking nickel until they literally, physically can't. It was always a con, our oligarchs are just the snake oil salesmen of yore, they conned their way into conquest, and the damage or "externalities" they cause has never and will never make them lose a second of sleep.

And we the peasants will go along, afraid stopping them will inturrupt the flow of our pathetic subsistence opiates like social media, fast food, literal opiates, etc.

That’s basically the mindset I’m in.

We’re screwed and won’t shape up in time. But I’m still going to self reflect and improve myself.

There is very little chance. But there is zero chance if everyone lets zero chance stop them from caring about their own actions.

Didn't know my dentist set up stages of denial. 😉

That's nicely said.

I think however, the problem is more that everybody wants to solve climate change, as long as it doesm't cost them anything.

And since big companies and banks are the only ones with enough money to make a significant difference, climate change will only be solved by having cost-competitive clean sources of energy. Which we have.

So reducing emissions is more important now than it has even been

Middle managers : “Come back to working in the office”

Us: ”we work on computers and can easily work from home and have done so for years now being very productive without adding to the emissions of the road use”

Middle managers: “Fuck the earth. I don’t feel like my job is valid unless you’re here so I can micromanage you”

I like to frame it as, even if you can't avoid crashing into a wall, it still makes a huge difference whether you do it with a 120km/h, 70km/h or 20km/h.

Well, unfortunately we are looking at the likely scenario of cascading ecosystem failures, quickly leading to most humans on earth starving to death.

What I'm thinking the working class can do is protest, civil disruption, direct action, unionisation, labour strikes, and worker action.

Labour is entitled to all it creates.

I mean, you're a man wearing a polar bear head so..yes?

Peppers.
