Let's face it we're a bunch of apes, a few are intelligent and functioning, and it's a miracle anything works at all.

At least that makes me feel better because it just makes me happy when anything works at all.

Okay but we need to do better or literally everyone dies to climate change, right? So...

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Let's see what happens

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yes. Let's wait and see until theres no options left!

[–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

The sad thing is that we won't just die to climate change, but everything becomes way more hellish than it already is, to the point where we'd wish we had just died...

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah it won't be the gentle 20th century 'sirens and then two hours later everyone suddenly stops existing' apocalypse. It will be brutal and horrible and show us the worst we can be. Everybody with die-by thousands, by dozens, one by one.

But, like, can't stop line go up, so...
