    The people that could have done something about this don’t care. We’re past that now. So there’s little point in sounding the alarms now. This train is unstoppable.

        Do you seriously think nothing has been done up until now? Like… no one bothered until you just said something?

        People have been screaming from the rooftops for decades! Initiatives have been started on local levels to promote climate-based healing and programs.

        Look at where we are.

        It’s worse than ever.

        WE- have no power to do anything about it. It’s over. We lost.

          I don’t think that, no.

          People just love their defeatism, and I’m not having it. There is no point in giving up.

            It’s not defeatism. It’s realism. Science supports what I’m saying. Deny it all you wish. The damage is irreparable.

              I did not claim, the damage was reparable. I said, it’s still going to get worse, if we don’t keep fighting. And there is no point in giving up, because even then, you’ll still be affected. Do it as revenge against fossil fuel companies, if that motivates you. But don’t just lower your hands for them to punch you in the gut.

                It’s going to get worse, AS we keep fighting. Just like it has for the past several decades. Again, do you seriously think people have yet to start fighting this? You’re the first one to come up with the idea to do something?

                It’s over man. We never stood a chance. Just let it go and enjoy the rest of your life.

                  Again, I do not think that.

                  I do not consider the rest of my life enjoyable, if it involves ever longer and hotter summers, with our life-supporting ecosystems collapsing one after another. Even if the end result is inevitable, I would prefer to delay all the shit before that, to keep it at least to a degree enjoyable for as long as possible.

                  Nope. Not when my kids will have to try and survive in the shitshow they are being handed.

                  It’s my responsibility to do as much as I am able to try and mitigate as much of the the damage as possible.

                  For their sake, if not for the collective good.
