I think you have overindulged in apocalypse porn, there are ways forward without mass deaths and I am tired of being read passages from other doomer posts about the climate that I know by heart already. I am pretty much done here, I repeat that I encourage you to read other angles of the problem and our situation and stop praying for calamity to make life better, it's nihilistic and kind of dumb.

there are ways forward without mass deaths.

What are they? You get really vague here, presumably on purpose.

I propose mass not-births as part of the answer of degrowth. Anyone that proposes anything unsustainable is the one calling for mass deaths.

doomer posts about the climate that I know by heart already.

Here is a fact. For roughly ever degree of of Global Average Temperature above our pre-industrial average we lose about 10% of global food production. How are we feeding everyone again? 2024 hit 1.5°C and we're on track for 2.5 to 3.5C at least. What are we all eating?

I repeat that I encourage you to read other angles of the problem and our situation and stop praying for calamity to make life better, it's nihilistic and kind of dumb.

I'm sorry unpleasant truths couldn't be delivered with a happier, more cheerful messaging. For what it's worth, skulls are always smiling.

Again, your type is always disapointing. You can only mischaracterise what we say because you can't discuss rationally. "Praying for calamity" tells me you have not listened or understood anything being discussed.

We are done here.
