You also appear to believe that this range of discussion is insufficient. propose to this thread something that 1) actually prevents catastrophic biosphere collapse and 2) is even a little plausible will happen. nothing fits both of those requirements. you seem mad that you can’t think of something and that we won’t lie to you that things will be okay. they won’t be.

The D&D climate thread evolution and devolution is pretty funny Their increasing anxiety and meltdowns as they run out of excuses isn't what is funny, just that even the walled garden of protected intellectual DeBaTe can only flip their poo poo and melt down if they try and honestly talk about the situation. The only hope left is to basically go write climate fanfic where Elon Musk discovers an alien fusion reactor and Doctor Doom's time platform

Alas, if only this mythical lifestyle of idle nihilism achieving naught were mine, I sigh, punching out hour 36 of this week tonight.  It's all sold to fossil fuel companies on 25 year contracts so that they can shift the carbon credits over to the O&G division and declare those operations carbon neutral on paper, of course. 100% of it.
