    I know it’s still in fashion to believe we can recover and that the future can still be saved, but I’m pretty sure it’s over for humans as a society.

      Think about how many times in human history a person in a particular place and time could look around and come to the same conclusion.

      Shit waxes and shit wanes. So it goes.

      Even this shit is a blip in the grand scheme of things.

        We recently passed the first point of no return climate change milestone.

          It’s unlikely humans will die out even in the most extreme climate change scenarios. We’ll just be in a much deteriorated state at the poles.

              Depends what you mean, seems very unlikely we will eliminate ourselves or human society generally entirely, even in like a worst case nuclear exchange there will be survivors.

              Will the new society have pocket computers and air conditioning and a power grid? Fuck no. But I mean there will be humans and societies still

      Yeah I don’t think global society ever restores once large scale open warfare kicks off in a few years/decades. Not sure if it’ll be all the nazis or climate death that kicks it off.
