Accurate but depressing comic on choices facing people.

In my neighbourhood today a candidate for #2023Election #NZVotes stood at a street corner and politely answered questions from future voters, all over 50YO. Their concerns may not match those of voters in their 20s and 30s but they'll definitely be voting but maybe thinking of #CostOfLiving not #ClimateEmergency. #NZPol

Is human extinction the future?

The Nib

@Kay I read the predictions of a group of scientists (don't remember who) the likeliest outcome of our current trajectory (doing a bit, not nearly enough).

- environmental consequences evtl. reduce human population to about 3 billion.

- social consequences of that are an +- 1820s-Europe standard of technology & living.

A long way from extinction (for humans).

But the end of this civilization, which I think is the extinction we all feel coming.
