The Newsroom climate interview is something that, despite being from a fictional show, I have made a lot of people watch for how fucking accurate it is.

Are you in a lot of pain or in withdrawel or something? I’m struggling to understand where all this self victimising vitriol is coming from otherwise.
Yes, being disabled sucks, yes most people also suck, and everything is also fucking awful everywhere most of the time, and that sucks too.
But this is a comment section under a lighthearted post about moving furniture, so there’s obviously something else going on that has you so upset.
There is more?! Thank you for linking this!
If you want to be included by people, try to be less of a dick.
This isn’t me talking about the wider disabled community, of which I am part of, when I say this btw, this is me talking to you.

With that beautiful writing style? This prose would be lost on film.
Honestly, I thought this was an excerpt from some modern classic usamerican novel. I was fully expecting to find this comment section full of references and people talking about the book.

I didn’t accuse you of either, I just asked you not to do them.
Does she actually know how bad things are?
Like does she know we’re over capacity on fresh water and running out of top soil? Does she know what a Blue Ocean Event is? Does she actually understand how fucking world ending +3c is going to be and how soon we’re likly to hit it?
Because no offense but anyone actually working in this industry who isn’t fucking morose and out of hope…
Like is she doing low level volunteering or something? Because otherwise she really doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Most people won’t even go vegan, that’s like the bare minimum anyone could do that would actually have an impact, and most people won’t do it.
Your optimism is not going to rewrite physics or change human nature. Go do whatever you think you need to do to make things better though, by all means, just don’t lie to people about the unfixable apocalypse we’re heading into or get shitty with them if they’re rightfully adopting a bleak outlook.
Unless you’re some kind of god wizard capable of rewriting the laws of physics, there is nothing we can do. Go read some of those links and look some of this stuff up for yourself if you don’t believe me.
It’s going to be climate collapse and resource depletion over the next 25 to 30 years. Click the spoiler for some of the ways this will happen. There are other factors at play too but imo these are the main ones.
spoiler
90% of earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050
Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030
Global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity.
Global carbon emissions are still rising
The arctic sea ice extent is declining rapidly and we’re likely headed into a Blue Ocean Event later this year, and potentially a double BOE depending on how the El Nino and summer in the southern hemisphere go.
The world is likely to exceed a key global warming target soon but the earths alebedo with the declining sea ice and lack of cloud cover will impact these numbers massively and isn’t being predicted for, which means that 4.5c above the baseline by 2060 is now possible.
I know I keep fucking posting this in comments around the fediverse but it needs to be seen by as many people as possible because this is fucking happening and most people still have no idea and think everything will be ok.
If you got to choose between life in the torment nexus or not existing, which would you pick? And don’t tell me to kill myself, that’s not the point of this question.
Maybe they hang around outside prinary schools for other reasons, you’re right.
“Shithole country” is something your president has called many other countries.

This is us.
Why did you have kids? None of this is new.




Cartoon wise, I strongly recommend the netflix adaptation of She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power.
Babylon 5 and Farscape for live action, they’ve not bern mentioned yet either, I don’t think.
