truly wild take lol. no hate lol thats just too doomer and horrifying for me that the world will just burn and hundreds of people will die and that will fix everything

I don’t think it’s so much a question of it fixing anything it’s just the inevitable outcome of carrying on the way that we are. If we are to avoid the worst consequences of climate change we need to radically restructure society and learn to do with less particularly in the imperial core.
