They've been saying this for 20 years. We're just cooking like frogs.
It's about time we start acknowledging this is already a global catastrophe hidden by the pandemic.

I believe the pandemic is a direct result of the global catastrophe. Increased temps result in increased viruses and new coming out of places that were once frozen. Germs, disease etc are probably loving the increased temps and are thriving.
I think this is the wrong way of looking at the future. We should be thinking long term without giving up. Its easy to say "we are all going to die" instead of actually planning. People these days live to much in the moment.
Long live long term thinking
Colony collapse disorder. The earth will recover. I hope we as a civilization also survive. I like us, usually. ;)
Or we could just focus on making the world a better place for the upcoming generations. The problem is short term selfish thinking.
But muh profits!
I don't have a problem with profits. If you are thinking about profits long term that's still way better than thinking in the short term.
The key is for the law makers to be on top of law making.
It’s not cost effective to stop the collapse of civilisation ...
Yeah that's why we should build a monument to those who will die.
