Based on the updated national climate pledges submitted ahead of COP30, it is clear that our politicians are still not showing the genuine leadership needed to transition rapidly away from fossil fuels, which are responsible for close to 90 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions.

    I have no real hope that humanity will sufficiently deal with the on-coming climate crisis. At this point, I just want to be assured that humanity is collectively fucked. I want to know that even the rich bastards who can afford high-tech bunkers that can generate enough power to last a lifetime are still going to be fucked anyways due to the severity of things. I want to stand confidently, knowing that humanity was just another blip on the long ass radar of life and the universe is simply going to wipe it out and move on. If humanity is to go extinct, my sincere response is “fantastic.”

      I think we had a dismal run tbh. It’s ironic, how in the scifi show Star Trek, there was an episode where they depicted an “alien” race that had driven their entire species to the brink of extinction because they couldn’t see past superficial differences instead of uniting for the greater cause. It’s ironic because we very likely will wind up the same way. To think, all we had to do was off a few billionaires from existence but nah.
