Climate change deniers: "I'll be dead by 2050, why do I care?" or "Fuck you, I got mine already."
Reality: FAFO.

Faster than expected, and worse than anticipated. It will get much faster and much worse. Practice growing your own food and stay in shape.
Actually, in line with what was actually anticipated and taught in science classes in 2000. People decided to go with the best case scenarios as if global emissions would go down for some reason. No one who has been paying attention should be surprised.
Yeah limits to growth I think was in the 70s. Seems pretty accurate so far.
Every time the IPCC publishes a report it's like: oh yeah may have gone way past the most pessimistic option this year, yet again, for the seventh time in a row, so here's a new set of predictions that will surely not be overly optimistic this time round.
It's designed to keep us passive while we continue to fail.
There's been a 73% decline in global vertebrate populations since 1970. We're in the beginning of a very serious mass extinction and it's kinda like we don't care which is interesting.
That's because a lot of money is being spent to keep us oblivious about it.
Not saying you're wrong but I don't see the point in letting the population collapse. It will just bounce back later and probably be far greater assuming humans don't go extinct before achieving sufficient space travel and colonies. That is also assuming we're the only ones here and this isn't like a controlled demolition of the human species by some other entity or force.
Well that's because we are the mass extinction event.
Yup, second organism to cause a mass extinction but the first to self proclaim it's intelligent.
The curse of interesting times strikes again.
I'm still pretty solid on the idea we're in an ancestor simulation or at minimum definitely not in base reality.
Whatever helps get you through it. Functionally it makes no difference. The simulation runs particles smaller than atoms and the maximum speed is still light. Our universe is too vast for us to explore and there's probably other life forms on planets too far away to matter. Our experience is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, yet the only thing we will ever do. Make it count while you're here.
I mean the probability isn't in our favor. As for us, yeah it doesn't change much. Same for a lot of epistemological arguments. Last Thursdayism, Descartes demon, Plato's cave, Chung Tzu's butterfly, solipsism, Boltzmann brains could all be bang on right on the money. I see you're taking the more so physical reality approach, even then if something like the holographic universe or some variation is correct then maybe distance doesn't exist like we think it does. If for instance we're in a black hole then there's a one to one representation of all information here in what we consider 3D space on the black hole's surface.
All the fun ideas aside I agree with you although maybe our definitions of fun may be different. That is I think the first goal is to reduce needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence whenever possible. Like even if it is a simulation of sorts or reality just started ten seconds ago or what I'm experiencing is a Boltzmann brain it still doesn't stop the first goal from at least being the best goal I've found so far.
Yeah that's pretty much where I landed too.
Idk how to convince people anymore. I am tired and sad
Oh good we are ahead of schedule
Nobody cares anymore now that datacenters and AI exist.
Corporations have never cared, it’s always deflection and distraction.
Example: the myth of recycling
Apt observation, user scrotumnipples
I keep wanting to make "we are flocked" signs with arrows pointing at the cameras, but I don't know if I should worry about putting them up.
The fictional one has something along the lines of "as usual" while in reality it's exceptional (for now). Though europe especially is affected by climate change, gets hotter summers, and it's concerning, that we get a few more over-30°C days each year.
We're sitting in our rooms agitated, causing life long issue with sleepless nights, all while these fuckers that did this for greed sake are building climate controlled bunkers.
Fuck rich removed
see you next Tuesday is sencered? What else can we call them...
.ml has a profanity filter for some reason
I've said it before, we need to announce the revolution so all these idiots go into their bunkers, and then brick them up or something.
The concept of hiding out bunker is idiotic, if the world is truly dying then what are you going to do in a bunker? Sit there for the rest of your life, and then what, have your descendants emerge a century later to devastated world, what's the point? The sort of people who hide out in end of the world shelters are not the sort of people who want to get their hands dirty rebuilding civilisation.
Far apart from anything else it's going to be incredibly boring if you're used to the jet setting lifestyle.
They probably think the "cattle" will tire themselves out with revolution after a decade or so, and then they can reemerge to retake the reins of society.
It doesn't make the most sense but these people have more money than sense, almost definitionally.

Ah, mais en France car goes «vroum vroum»

Why did they remove the relief? It helps orienting.
Not the same channel! TF1 still has the relief map today
And people continue to deny that global warming is real...
No, that was plan A.
Plan A: tell people there's no climate change
Plan B: tell people climate change is natural, not man made
Plan C: tell people climate change is man made but there's nothing we can do about it
We're at plan C now.
But not too much man made. Can't risk be sued
A lot will admit it’s real but then shift blame to China while overlooking the facts that chinas pollution is largely made by western countries outsourcing the dirtiest parts of their supply chain to China and that China is vastly outperforming and outspending literally every country in considerably bringing down their emissions
