The reward - Lemmy.world

It’s winter where I live. Temperature should be around 10ºC but some places registered 30ºC. And this week we’ll have our 4th hurricane of 2023. My house is old and I fear soon I’ll wake up without a roof.

My anxiety is so bad today. I keep trying to find new ways to deal with it, meds, meditation, exercise, but how the fuck am I supposed to keep up?

The world is not ending, this is a very slow rolling problem. And humans will solve it for sure. Worst case scenario, quality of life goes down a bit but it would still be much higher than what the average human experienced for 99.9% of our history.
Tell me you don’t understand the implications of climate change without telling me you don’t understand the implications of climate change. If you think food and water shortages that put 80-90% of the world’s population at risk of death and simultaneously destroys global economic flows humanity has become reliant on is better quality of life than ever you are dillusenial.
It's not that bad.
I won’t argue about the science because there’s no argument left for that, but if you think money or technology is a magic formula that will shield us from climate change you’re putting a lot of faith in something with very little certainty.
We can do amazing thing when we are united and determined. I trust that as the situation gets worse humanity will rise up to the task.
