    look this is going to sound horrible but – i was born in 1996, i’ve been hearing this shit all my life, climate catastrophe, uninhabitable planet…i’m just waiting for a spectacular collapse so i can stop having the background anxiety about it and we can live our lives like in our favorite post-apocalyptic films

      God yeah. This is like a tease that has been happening for decades. I cannot wait to normalize living in bunkers.

        All the bunkers in my part of the world are owned by Silicon valley billionaires/Russian oligarchs.

      I always think of it like an exponential function. There seems like nothing until it starts skyrocketing… The ocean/ice/atmosphere has had enough of our added heat and greenhouse gases to the point of no return, and it is just getting started. I often think of it like a glass of water getting hot in the sun after all the ice melts… and now the warming is always “faster than expected”
