I had to stop reading climate science and, well, just too much climate news about two years ago. It fuckin destroyed my mental health. It's really goddamn sad and probably the most helpless I've ever felt while also giving me an overwhelming sense of dread.

I'm mentally better now but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't all still weigh on me from time to time. It's really just so shitty and wild how consistently every year there is quite a handful of really major and unprecedented climate events and they always get brushed to the side shortly after it happens. There is hardly ever meaningful discussion about it unless you actively follow climate scientists or activists. And most of them are also at their wits end, they've very sounding alarms for decades now.

Shit fuckin sucks, it's not even about reversing or preventing the effects of climate change anymore, now its all just mitigation for how bad its becoming. Half the goddamn country doesn't even think its real and the other half says its real and that's damn near the full extent of it for them. There is just so few people gloablly who actually give a shit and even fewer who have the power to do anything. The biggest contributors are the last ones who will change too.

Alright I'm sounding doomery and I didn't wanna do that. There just isn't many ways to vent about this stuff sometimes, and I gotta let it out every now and then. I'll end and say there are more productive ways to use this type of dispar but sometimes you just gotta talk some shit
