I’m doing what I can, and encourage others to do the same cuz why not; but also under no illusion that our efforts are going to even delay our extinction by a meaningful amount.
We’re at the mercy of some miracle-tier scientific breakthroughs, or literal divine/extraterrestrial intervention. There’s a shred of hope in the former, but realistically, we’re fucked.
Oh they’ll probably last a few years longer than the rest of us, but their bunkers will only keep em ticking until the AC unit breaks, or… y’know, the plants and algae on the surface die and stop producing O2 and their tanks run out.
Nah fuck off with all that. First of all, we won’t become extinct. In the worst case scenarios we could lose a few billion over many years but that’s hardly extinct. Secondly, we’re not at the mercy of anything. We literally have the technology we need to make the changes we need right now, but the problem is that politicians are still in the pockets of Big Oil and other industries that will be interrupted. They push propaganda out to the gullible masses that eat it up because it makes them feel special and better than others. We need to change our politics (obviously).

Hey now, we won’t go extinct. Some of the ultra wealthy will likely survive in their bunkers! That’s probably comforting right

Even with some miracle technology, actually especially with a miracle technology, there will be tons of pushback from Big Oil et al. because it’ll slightly eat in to their profits. It’s pretty much these “Dirty Dozen” wealthy elite that are causing the problems, and they need to be pushed back against hard
one big disease could thanks snap the population. how we would survive afterwards is another question.
but high pop loads lead to more chance of drastic collapse.
