    I’ve accepted that we won’t survive the coming storm. Covid showed us that people couldn’t be bothered tonwear a mask or get a shot to fight off a disease that was visibly killing millions. If we can’t come together on that, there’s no way we’ll come together to survive the climate crisis.

      Do you mean ‘we, society as it is right now’ or ‘we, the human species’. Because i don’t really disagree, but at the same time i’ve seen people get through stuff i expected would kill them. I’m quite convinced some people will survive the storm. Might not be many if we continue this way though

        Oh humans will survive. We’re hands down the most adaptable species evolution ever spat out. Billions of us living as we have been? Definitely not. But make no mistake, it’ll be humans, cockroaches, and whatever’s going on on those deep sea vents left at the end.

          If anything is left, it’s not the end. Revolutionary optimism even in the face of extinction, man.

          That and the willingness to throw every billionaire into a woodchipper.

      State where you’re from, because we complained but largely adhered to the mask thing in Australia.

      O think humans well survive not through any planing or anything just that there is so damn many of us and we are adaptable that some well survive.
