#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.
Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”

This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.
Faster than we ever thought…
Don't worry too awful much.
The Earth will be completely fine and easily recover once we're gone.

Always hated this reasoning, just sounds like an excuse to avoid responsibility.
Like, yeah, the literal rock of the planet will be here. Cool. Meanwhile, we're destroying life and ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years, forever. It's not some great comfort that slimemold and cockroaches will inherit the earth.

Oh, I want no mistake made, here. I take full responsibility in not successfully ending the actions taken by the selfish, profit-seeking oil barons and politicians ruining our planet. As responsibility goes, we're set, but that really wasn't in question.
As for what to do now, I'd say do everything you can until you can't, optimisic or not, good outcome or not. Less pain is always better than some.
And for those who have children and grandchildren, what happens in the next 50-100 years is still of great importance.

Very much so! Don't stop your efforts, by all means. Less pain is always better than some. Always care for the coming generations.

We are with more…
You might be right there, just a 40000 year ripple of physical evidence of some organized cultural activity…
We are 'the ancients' in some faroff society's scifi novel.

Your pessimism is in your wrist as well as mine is. It isn't an argument, it's the ending we all chose, whether from inaction or lack of care or both.
All you can do is the best you can for the ones still here. Be glad it's that much.
