woke up, saw that we bombed another country (second time in 6 months), went to work, saw this as the daily news:
or the time I was at a house party high out of my mind and everyone slowly went “so we bombed Iran” and everybody but me already saw the news
almost as surreal as the time I was on the official FBI website randomly clicking around and saw trump in the Epstein files, then they removed it the next day 🙃
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.
“my entire city is nothing but rubble and everyone i know is dead”
no it’s just somebody else’s city, so i guess thats ok. no apocalypse here, move along people.
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.
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…
it isn’t happening
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!
