Because its true?

Barely anything had been done these past decades and the result is that boat loads of people now believe conspiracy crap over the actual truth that climate change will milk us all

I fully expect that even less will be done in the next years so yeah, were screwed

    Fight for climate change is not lost, it's still actively being fought by scientists, entrepreneurs, content creators, journalists and activists all over the planet.

    Oil companies like this narrative of lost. It was always, don't worry we still have time until now when it's leaning towards "whoopsie too late". It's not too late, we are not all going to die because of climate change.

    Right now climate change is on track to be horrible for large parts of the world but there's plenty more we can fuck up beyond that.

    I mean, that's the thing. We all know there are solutions. But governments and billionaires at this point have to make the solutions happen, and they have no interest in many places. Hell, they're actively working on behalf of climate change and environmental destruction in the US just to own the Libs and to the cheers of the rabid troglodyte portion of its populace. You don't just have to contend with getting the facts to people, you have to contend with being but one voice amid all the antifacts that everyone is bombarded daily on every topic.

    I know I'm a doomer, but sans an effective virus that takes out 80% of the population and mostly targets anyone right of center and all of the billionaires, I don't think we have this one in us.

    And here is why your comment is horseshit:

    Yeah, the ozone issue was handled marvelously but the much bigger CO2 issue has been treated like... Well, just plain not. The Paris climate accords were a joke and still just about all countries wiped their ass with it.

    Solar being so super cheap now is awesome! Just that, you know, the US is working hard to kill anything that is not coal and oil, and most countries have been increasing CO2 emissions, not decreasing them. We multiple times passed points of "holy shit this is a no return" and do you remember everyone aiming for an insane 1.5 degree increase? Pepperidge farm remembers... We just keep pushing the acceptable temperature increase up because economy baby!

    So yeah, politicians world wide don't give a shit, we went multiple times over the line and still no one with power gives a shit. This "then you do something" is also a bullshit argument because here I am, literally right now separating paper and plastic but i know the plastic goes straight into some dump anyway because again, politicians don't give a shit, and rich assholes keep flying big jets for fun...

    It's exhausting, and yeah, we're fucked as a species
