You're absolutely right that this is definitely a cause for concern and it is different than other times where there was a fear of the world ending. It was not my intention to undermine the seriousness of the situation.
I don't think, however, that the message of "the world is definitely going to end" is helpful. The message should be "this is what we can do to save it". We should be hopeful, but not complacent.
Keep up the good work though!
Unless you're some kind of god wizard capable of rewriting the laws of physics, there is nothing we can do. Go read some of those links and look some of this stuff up for yourself if you don't believe me.
That's not true, or my partner wouldn't do climate resilience work if she actually thought it was futile.
Does she actually know how bad things are?
Like does she know we're over capacity on fresh water and running out of top soil? Does she know what a Blue Ocean Event is? Does she actually understand how fucking world ending +3c is going to be and how soon we're likly to hit it?
Because no offense but anyone actually working in this industry who isn't fucking morose and out of hope...
Like is she doing low level volunteering or something? Because otherwise she really doesn't understand what's going on.
She's a professor who works in the climate change space, hence why I said resilience.
