Oh ok, so you acknowledge that humanity’s footprint needs to be systematically drastically reduced for the next several generations until we reach a number this planet can sustainably support, and we need to push to end the capitalist global economy that requires infinite growth/metastasis on a finite world with finite resources immediately, in favor of an economic model that revolves around homeostasis/equilibrium, which will require necessary draconian lifestyle changes on all of our parts, right?

For the record, I’m more than willing to. I’m hilariously outnumbered though.

Now go ahead and talk about “baby steps” in the face of accelerating temperature increases. Baby steps are steps that could have made an impact that reverberated into today’s consequences half a century ago when we knew about climate change but largely pretended we didn’t.

You call it doomerism, but I just don’t believe in self-deception to feel better.
