I started getting sad about climate change two years ago after seeing Planet Earth and many documentaries. I completely changed my lifestyle to reduce my part and put significant effort into it.
But seeing rich celebrities who use as much as a common man’s lifetime resources in a week or two, and others who barely put in any effort to combat it, and corporations fucking the entire planet for quarterly profits, barely any efforts towards fighting it even though we had known about its consequences 30-40 years ago, I get this feeling that my efforts are even worth it.
Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival. Just like human beings, Earth’s time has started to end. Its death is inevitable. Everything should come to an end. Only if evolution had given a bit more thought to species survival, we would be in a much better place.
How do you all deal with this?
Way I see it, it’s like being worried over a nightmare. It’s an illusion your mind produced. Nightmares happen. Not much you can do about it. No different than changes in climate, it happens, not much we can do about it. We can pretend that we can lessen climate changes to 100% or 90% or even 50% but we don’t control earth, other planets, much less the rest of the galaxy. Changes to climate are going to happen naturally as they have since the birth of reality.
Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about
We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.
The illusion is that YOU and I are to blame for climate change. And we have to face the consequences by making sacrifices for the sake of mother earth… when in reality, we nor any other living creature is the blame for changes in climate. It’s not accelerating like it’s supposed to have been since what? The 1930s? The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists. 🙄
You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.
This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.
Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.

I’m owned
The narrative cannot change. That is, climate change is the fault of humans and animals.
However, the link I provided rebuts your claim that climate change is accelerating because of human activities. Since the 1930s, we were told that because of humans we have climate change and if we don’t limit human activities that cause climate change, we will see an acceleration of climate change so severe the world will end.
For example:
We were even warned that because of climate change millions of people will starve to death… a claim made in the late 60’s, yet from that time to today, the world population grew exponentially and for the most part are sustaining. Humanity is thriving far better than before, while climate change has been getting worse, to the point of all living things going extinct because of man made climate change.
Simply put, the math isn’t mathing. The goal is to limit the freedoms of human activities.
You reject the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans, then you want to pull debatelord shit about the history of climate science forecasts. Fuck off.
Just like I deny COVID was naturally occurring, jumped from animal to human.
You’re right, I don’t trust the scientific consensus. I’m an independent thinker, I seek knowledge rather than let it be fed to me like a mindless drone.
