I do, but like most other people, I'm preoccupied with short term crises since, well, I need to survive those in order to be ready for the long-term ones.

In my opinion though, we don't stand a snowball's chance in hell. The elite will manage to hang just a bit longer, but eventually they'll cook and burn with the rest of us, or in their bunkers.

Anyways, shit's already fucked to the point that I've given up. Just sit back, relax and take whatever life gives ya.

This is exactly the messaging of the oil companies and others who oppose climate action now that it’s too hard to deny. They want us to think it’s hopeless and give up trying to change anything. It’s not too late. Green energy is growing exponentially and has been possibly the fastest technological adoption in history. Millions of people are working on the science and technology to solve these problems. We just need some more collective action at the local and national levels. Carbon taxes, funding for green initiatives, local agriculture, and support for alternative transportation like e-bikes or other PEVs to start

We can currently choose between:

climate change causing drought, heat, rain, flooding and storms with hail or tornados;
biodiversity loss preventing pollinating our food and capturing carbon (see climate change);
nuclear war in a politically unstable world;
tyrannic forms of government threatening our freedom;
underpaid slave labour in a capitalistic society, also threatening our freedom;
no way to divert that incoming meteor;
business as usual causing the next pandemic;
more old than young people leading to less care and less work altogether;
AI taking over the world;
any mix of the above leading to a collapse of society. Feel free to expand.
