    I feel like scientists are putting on a good show in appearing hopeful that we can fix the climate.

      I know a couple people who are involved in image CLIMATE (no idea where image came from) sciences, and most of the used to be extremely vocal about doing anything and everything to prevent it.

      Then they slowly changed to “make it as survivable as possible”

      Most don’t say a word anymore. And some of them aren’t the kind of people to keep quiet just because nobody is listening to them

      This tells me they’ve given up hope because it’s too late and they know nothing can really be done anymore, barring some miracle breakthrough tech.

        Can’t blame them at all. Humanity has proven time and time again to be too ignorant to save. The majority are not willing to suffer the inconveniences required, and capitalism would only be willing to do what’s necessary if it were believed to be the most profitable option.

        It’s much easier to let us fuck around and find out, and let the climate do the talking. Catastrophe is the only way we’ll learn.
