  • Based on our sun’s life cycle, it’s not likely.

    Even if all emissions stopped tomorrow for good, temperatures would continue to rise, our climate would continue to destabilize, and the mass extinction event currently underway would continue.

    Like your comment says, we have likely fucked the climate enough that we’ll probably be gone within a couple hundred years.

    The problem is, we’ve killed off so many species and damaged our biodiversity to such an extent, that by the time biological life could evolve to a similar level of biodiversity like we once enjoyed, our sun will already be expanding enough that earth has become uninhabitable.

    We did it guys!



  • Hey collapse-aware friend,

    I definitely get the frustration of having that level of awareness and looking around at others discussing things that seem pointless in comparison. Especially early on, if it happens to be a recent thing for you.

    That being said, people aren’t going to suddenly stop living their lives because of where we’re personally at, and saying doomer stuff unprompted is generally just unproductive overall.

    Plus, the sooner everyone is aware, the faster collapse will happen. So might as well let people enjoy what they have now. As you said, it’s basically already over.

    Personally, I enjoy giving shitty, brutally honest answers to job applications for jobs I don’t actually want, to be particularly cathartic. Because who cares about companies.
