QuilotoaWe live in one of the best times in the history of humanity, but many are frustrated because the last generation had it better.
And because we’re facing several potential species-ending threats which hasn’t happened before 1945, and is worse now than it was then.
Bullshit. That’s just doomer hysteria.
The issue with climate change isn’t the change, or the magnitude of the change, its the rate of change. Life as a whole will adapt, but its not hyperbolic to talk about civilization altering effects. We already have island nations being buried underwater in decades instead of millenia, this isn’t normal.
Sure, things are going to persevere, humanity probably will persevere, but we also persevered through the black plague, doesn’t mean we wouldn’t have tried to prevent the plague if we had the chance. Climate change is clearly brought about by human activities, and if we want to continue our historical upward trend in quality of life, we need to reduce our CO2 output.
