    Last call, humanity. Its time to wake up or die and take everything with us.

      Spoiler alert: a lot more penguins are gonna die (and other wildlife, and people) before large swathes of governments and the public get on board.

      A recent climate Scientist who testified in front of congress in 1988 on the topic of global warming, said that it’s unfortunate that humanity has got to taste it first before they spit it out

        Its insane, a gut punch to the soul, I have no words for the idiocy and malice unfolding before my eyes. Every day I grow more and more restless, like a frog that is aware the water will boil.

          I do. “But, the economy!”

          What about the economy? No explanation, just “but the economy.”

            The economy will be great again because some dumb country will sure to wage war for resources eventually in a selfish attempt to make things better for themselves short term while making everyone including themselves die even faster. And we all know how much America loves taking advantage of war to sell weapons!

        Humanity collectively needs to touch to stove to realize it’s hot.

        Humanity collectively is fucking stupid.

        If only that were true.

        We’ve been tasting it, I don’t think we’ll properly spit it out before we deep throat the goddamn thing. Undoubtedly we will choke and die on it. Absolutely pathetic

      Last call was 40 years ago when Carl Sagan went before congress and told us all how it was going to be.

      Now the bar has been closed for hours, everyone is still drinking, and 3 rich guys are pissing on the “closed” sign.

      We’ve been fucked for a while, it’s just starting to hurt now.

        While true that it’s too late to avoid consequences, doomerism is just as much a trap to keep you complacent as climate denial is. If we act now or relatively soon, we can still avoid the worst consequences. It is going to suck, no matter what, but the fight isn’t over.

          You people keep saying “we” as if you have any influence. The solution can only be reached through worldwide government regulation that literally cannot be achieved. You’re living in a fantasy when you should be getting ready for imminent disaster.

            And it really isn’t even on us to do anything. It’s the corporations. They need to provide the alternative fuel sources for transportation. They need to provide the environmentally friendly power generation. They need to clean up their emissions and toxic waste. This isn’t on “us”. This is on them.

      Last call was probably long time ago… now is just the “I told you so” phase, there is no coming back
