      The world doesn’t end but humanity possibly will. Earth will eventually recover with or without humanity. To rephrase the sentence above ‘It’s easier to end humanity than end Capitalism’.

        Humanity won’t end either most likely, but a majority of us might die off. Therefore, society ending is definitely on the table.

          I can agree to that. I do like stress here that I believe that we as humanity can and will change. It is therefore time to take our concerns to the street and protest against the lack of action by the governments and industries.

            People are already dying from climate change. It’s no longer about preventing it, but trying to save as many lives as we can. Be active in this advocacy.

    I’m norwegian and I just can’t comprehend how our irresponsible mentality is on climate change. We discuss this issue as if we are abusing drugs and pretend like we need our next high because the last high was so good. We are completely ignoring how our activities are breaking down our body, our earth. We need to plan how to remove our addiction, but we can’t see a future without it.

    We say stuff like, “drinking might be bad, but just look at our smoking, that’s much worse! We have to focus on stopping our smoking before we stop drinking.” And “if I stop smoking, I’m just going to drink more.”

    It’s easier to envision our death than a life without oil.

    Another potential reason for such dramatic consequences of wildfires and floods could be a poor funding of public sector due to ongoing crisis. So, climate change topic could be very convenient excuse in this case.
    PS I’m not denying or promoting the climate change topic

      The recent dying en-masse of muscles and oysters due to being cooked in the ocean has been the most significant event to convince me that the outlook is not good

        To add to this, ocean acidification reduces the efficiency of shell formation. Since shells are calcium carbonate and therefore a base. The temperature and acidity are a one-two punch to shellfish that they may never recover from.
