Interesting and sometimes funny video about how Chevron has wrecked havoc in Ecuador and attacked everyone trying to stop them.

    yes, haha, so funny, the planet is being decimated hahaha.

    last thing that video made me is laugh. it added to my cumulative stress that nothing matters, we don’t matter, the earth is dying and our children will see how the sun disappears, the green disappears, the fish die, the animals die, we all die.

      Steady on mate, steady on. It also shows how freaked out oil companies are at being held accountable, and how seemingly close this is to setting that precedent, and maybe starting an avalanche of lawsuits that will help weaken their grip as renewables potentially s-curve hard, no matter how they try to stop it.

      Humor is how many of us cope with the darkness the world seems to be in right now, it’s a good way to keep up moral as we truck along and try our best to bring this shit to an end, one wrench thrown in one gear at a time.

        I’m at my wits end, maybe I need a source of good news. Nothing I see recently makes me at ease. The world is going to hell, wars tearing countries, ethnicities, cultures down. Greed is the only thing that makes anyone do anything. Am I getting too old? Am I getting too sceptical?

          Honestly, you may want to limit your exposure to climate change news sources, or even the news itself for a while. It’s very possible to experience emotional burnout from too much negative stimuli, and the news is always going to focus on the negative and terrible, since that gets more engagement.

          Try subbing to [email protected]. There’s some good things happening in the world, but you have to look to find it, since we humans have a natural negativity bias that needs to be consciously overcome.

            Thanks. Trying to keep it positive here, but every day my world is getting smaller and smaller. I might have to stop reading news altogether.
