What is Doomer? :(

It is a nebulous thing that may include but is not limited to Climate Change posts or Collapse posts.

Include sources when applicable for doomer posts, consider checking out !bloomer@www.hexbear.net once in awhile.

In non-surprising breaking news - we're fucked.

"The numbers paint a clear picture," the U.N. said. "To keep emissions below the critical 1.5-degree target set in Paris in 2015, countries must cut emissions by 42 percent overall by 2030 and achieve a 57 percent reduction by 2035."

Is it really being a "doomer" if fucking nothing has been done for decades about this and so-called "pledges" from the corpos burning the planet down were always bullshit and are now officially being abandoned?

Yes, because "doomer", conceptually, is a coping mechanism used by people who cannot accept the reality of the horror that is coming down on us and instead of trying to cope with it and come out the other side ready to do whatever is possible to mitigate the harm they reject reality entirely.
