"In this author's opinion, anyone with any shred of empathy could hardly not feel completely ripped apart inside in the knowledge that rampant climate change, coupled with all pervasive materialism, and a crisis of legitimacy will directly cause the completely avoidable suffering and deaths of many hundreds of millions, if not billions of people."

Is humanity doomed?

Are we on an inevitable collision course with extinction?

@v4169sgr @pvonhellermannn I've been aware that I would most likely see the collapse of everything within my lifetime since I was a child in the 1980s. I'm angry and sad, but mostly I am just tired because I've been angry for decades.

@pvonhellermannn @v4169sgr I was born in 1975, and I was already interested in science and engineering at the age of five. In 1983 when I was eight, I was already aware of the mutiple ways people were ruining this planet and the role of industry.
