      Damn I guess I gotta ignore all the climate reports that conclude that we are all going to die,

      Show me a single report that says this verbatim please.

      Same goes for sticking your head in the dirt saying "well be fine actually".

      "Billions will die" is not "everything is fine". "It's not going to be pleasant" is not "everything is fine". I don't know if any particular individual is going to die from climate change or not, because I understand the models model aggregate behavior. I could die of climate related reasons, or I could get hit by that jerk in the pickup. I don't know. You're the one who's willing to tell everyone "you're going to die of climate change driven starvation" without grappling with the inherent complexity and inexactness of the models.

      People being displaced due to hunger, famine, and battles for territory as livable space becomes less and less available is unrelated to climate change, ok

      Literally said the opposite.

      "You claim to be worried about the apocalypse, but you did not decry the people already dying from starvation, curious

      My point is the apocalypse is already happening, and has already happened for large swaths of humanity. You're hyperfocusing on a single (albiet important part) as some sort of weird internet subculture. Which is fine, but not a requirement for leftism.

          So to sum up, you're frustration of 'people not getting' stems from them not feeling about the future what you feel about the future despite the fact you acknowledge your feelings don't really reflect the reality of what is going to actually happen in the future?

          WHAT THE FUCK? Do you go into a post about how to make pizzas and complain when people discuss what type of flour is best to use???

          You talk about being frustrated that other people don't feel the same way you do about a specific form of doom, and I so I tried to explain why a lot of people wouldn't feel that way about that particular form of doom given the wide variety of dooms to choose from and the inexactitude of predicting anyone's actual form of doom.

          Seems apropos to me, but then again, just some guy.

          You're not going to find that because, for the fifth time, its the phrase I used to communicate how I feel about our future, not what I literally believe

          "Everyone is going to die"
          "No they aren't"
          "The science literally says everyone will die"
          "No it doesn't"
          "Well actually I don't think everyone is going to die, why are you being so rude"
          thonk

              If almost everyone replying to you is misunderstanding what you meant and you need to do a ton of clarification, it's probably not everyone else's fault
