Wtf. Drive/fly less and bike/walk more. Take the train/collective transport. And if that's too troublesome for you at least vote for politicians who care about climate change and are willing to actually do stuff.

So my plan if things get really bad is to die and there's no sense of worrying about that.

And please that's just so fucking selfish. Even if you don't get any kids there are still people who will have to live with the climate change that you created. For example I and all of my friends, cousins, classmates, etc will have to live with the consequences of climate change.

That's a mountain of assumptions and frankly insufficient attempts to feel like you can make an impact. The literal best way for a person to reduce ecological impact is to not exist.

Secondly, having someone exist for you even if their existence is pure misery is the most selfish thing. It's my body and it's my choice. Anyone who says different is someone who feels entitled to keeping me around regardless of what I want.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say you're depressed and suicidal. If so, I am sorry for what you're going through and hope you find some way to improve your life and get better.

Not really? Like there are moments but I'm talking about if or when things fall apart I don't care to keep trying. It's not because of depression that I'd be ok with death but because I'm not scared to die but I am scared to suffer every day.

I don't think depression has the monopoly on desiring death over suffering.

While I'm all in favour of individual action, I think it's very reductive to say that that will stop climate change. And even the politicians we explicitly vote for to actually do things don't, or not enough. And it's not like we chose to live in a world that is being destroyed by climate change, so how is it selfish if we leave behind other people who also do? They created it as much as me - barely, because none of us have any real recourse to deal with it.
