Sounds interesting.

And also depressing.

Which is large a winning combo.

Yep I'll watch that.

The frequent flying bastards.

Fucking depressing.

We've ran out of time. They're not saying it because people will give up completely but the seas have reached heatsink capacity and CO2 emissions are still increasing.

Might as well keep partying on like nothing is happening at this stage.

The tipping points will have been breached by then. The Greenland ice sheet is one, and that's fucked around 1.5, and once Siberia goes it's over.

Things getting bad enough to kick people up the arse but not bad enough to destroy everything. That’s the only shot. And it seems like a long one.

We need actual movie-like catastrophe before people do anything.

Well that's a post apocalyptic nightmare, for sure, but I was thinking actually apocalyptic. The Day After Tomorrow type stuff. I think the western world will need to see actual, undeniable climate-related damage done before changing habits and reprioritising. Other than massive loss of life and/or permanent coastal damage, I'm not sure what else can convince people. Food supply, perhaps.

Venus says hello.

Nothing will help. It's genuinely fucked so let's just accept it and party. We'll just tell our kids we loved partying and fuck them. Better to be honest when you look them in the eye and let the world burn.

You have hope that carbon emissions are going to stop accelerating in the next 10 years? I'd love to hear it because I'm struggling to see a way out of this.

Alarmingly, their worst case scenario at any particular time always happens faster than they predicted in their worst case scenario. Feedback loops are awful.

Any elected government is going to do fuck all because we don't understand or want the sacrifice that'll involve. We're a bunch of spoiled children that think it's someone else's problem to solve, as long as we can keep being spoiled shits in the meantime. There's no sense of personal sacrifice anymore because I dunno, the population of India is growing or some shit. Always the excuse to do fuck all, contribute to the problem and hope it sorts itself out.

Feeding your kids meat is some Hannibal Lecter irony mentalness, like that bit when he doesn't understand he's eating his own brain. Da yoof anger hasn't properly happened yet because the shit hasn't properly hit the fan. When it does I recommend we all get our excuses sorted because the rage to going to be off the scale.
