This person has probably never seen anything that could be called an apocalypse. Just like me and almost everyone in the west. Sure things really suck right now but its just not an apocalypse. Apocalypse is something like “my entire city is nothing but rubble and everyone i know is dead”. The most that this person has experienced is probably some medium financial troubles.
I think there’s a reasonable argument to be made that climate change and the insufficiency of our efforts to stop it count as a slow-moving sort of apocalypse, but you’re right, point well-taken.
Yes I understand that renewable adoption is accelerating, but so are CO2 emissions.
And there is a problem that these charts don’t consider. An increase in energy generation from one source does not mean that there will be a decrease in power generation of another. We will just have both sources in an additive relationship.
But that’s just capitalism baby! More! More! More!

Agree 100%. We’re literally living through the 6th mass extinction event.
The worst part is that it’s solvable, but not profitable, so it isn’t happening.
Anyway, gotta get back to work…
