I often wonder how the general population will react when they truly realize the impacts of climate change. I’d imagine there could be three reactions:

  • Apathy, as in completely shutting down
  • Panic, as in severe mental breakdown
  • Action, protesting etc

Now that I think of it these are the fight, flight, freeze reactions. Any thoughts?

  • Hyperreality

    Don’t have kids.

    Withdraw from being politically active and concentrate on short term fulfillement while it lasts.

    Don’t bother with long term planning or worry too much about pensions or career advancement.

        They really are.

        Every generation since the dawn of mankind thought that the world was about to end.

        Things are gonna get a bit shit in the coming decades - but really that’s all the more reason to save some money.
