#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.
