The planet could see 2 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the decade.

    This is completely unrelated to anything I said. I have personally dedicated my life to working to solve this and other environmental issues so calling me a bystander is hilariously wrong. In fact, doomerism is a big reason many people don’t act which is what I’m arguing against. Feeling some optimism the future will help you take real action in your community instead of doom-scrolling. And as I said there is no scientific basis to believe that climate change will kill all of us.

      Life finds a way is one of the top ten anti climate change propaganda myths. Life doesn’t always find a way. Sometimes life gets blasted in the face and goes through a mass extinction event. Saying you think our kids will find a way to adapt is taking the passive bystander approach.

        No it isn’t. That’s a nonsensical statement that is at odds with both human nature and climate science.

        So far, there are always survivors of the mass extinctions. No indication that this one will be different.

          I’m sure that’ll be very comforting for the 99% of humans that die in that case.

          You know how we adapt? By changing now.

              Because saying things like, “I trust our kids” is part of how climate denialism was sold to Boomers and Gen X. We tried the low pressure approach. It’s time to panic people.
