With climate change, COVID, and war no longer on the horizon but at our front doors do you all also feel like you're living through the start of the end? I'm immunocompromised I can't go out even in small social circles, weather is insane, and everyone that is near the center is a war hawk. I feel like I'm screaming into the void but honestly I'm just scared and want to know I'm not alone in this feeling
If you understand that there is no known methodology or process, real OR theoretical, to sustainably reverse the accelerating accumulation of greenhouse games in our atmosphere, and in light of the fact that there is a 10-20 year lag between emission of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and the subsequent effect; we are completely boned.
The easiest metaphor I've heard was something like imagine if you put a blanket on, but it took hours for you to feel warmer. By the time you realized it was too hot, you now have 10 blankets on you. But you're just now feeling the effect of the first two blankets. And in this metaphor; there is no way to take any blankets off.
