Energy grid storage news, low emission building, DIY stuff have all been mood savers for me.

At the end of the day, we are all going to die. Our species is going to die. If it’s next year because Yellowstone erupts and blots out the sun, or next week because Russia decides to go full MAD, or millions of years from now because interstellar travel lanes collapse…all we can do is the best we can with what’s in front of us.

For me, now, that means thinking about what I can do without. It means having a bug out bag to know I can tough out a day or two away from home. It means having emergency plans in place and other options for rolling with the punches. It also means looking out for the others around me and trying to build networks that look out for each other.

I believe the world is falling apart, but I think we have an opportunity to fall gracefully and maybe, if we are lucky, we can pass something on to the future that might grow into something new. The end likely won’t be worldwide cataclysm, so imo the best thing to do is to prepare to be mobile in a crisis.

Fight back. If you are contemplating the fear of death from climate change, then the courage to fight those responsible should seem like a relativity small hill to climb.

They should learn about stoicism.

Everyone dies. Do the best with what you got.

I apologise profusely as I tell my three 17 year olds the truth.

Link doesn’t work for me, the captcha just reloads over and over. From the title I’d say, let them know the death won’t be sudden, like a car crash or a meteor on the head. It will be a long drawn out process of social decay and collapse, followed by long slow suffering before getting to that point. Plenty of time to suffer before you die. I mean, unless the food wars and mass migrations don’t shorten the trip.

If they live in the United States the odds they’ll die by civilian owned firearms are far higher, and much more likely to happen over their lifetime, than climate change

Tell them that none of the scientists are suggesting they’re going to die from climate change, that’s coming from laymen repeating stuff with their own flair and farming engagement from them on tiktok.

It’s a global emergency and will have negative impacts, but anyone who acts like it’s going to turn into mad max in their lifetime is just a doomer.

That they’re not going to die from climate change, because they’re not.

Most everything is overblown for ratings. Have a beer, go get laid, and relax

“You had a good run… ok well you didn’t, but you get what you’re given.”
