    Beating climate change is (mostly) a mind game. Societal changes needed aren’t too dramatic, but that’d make a few uber-wealthy less rich right this second, so here we are.

    So what this comic really implies is “we beat corporate propaganda! We spread a scientific message to the masses!”

    Now that would be something.

      That is simply not true. It undersells by a wide margin how much very real danger we are in even if every were to go PERFECTLY from here on out. If capitalism collapsed completely tomorrow and we all were suddenly gay space communists, we would still be in the fight of our (humanity’s) lives. A mass extinction has already begun and to stop it requires an insane amount of either energy and unproven tech or massive upscaling of natural regeneration.

      We are so far from the edge of the woods we can’t see the light between the trunks.

      TBF due to medical advances the average lifespan in 2075 is 192 and only poor people and wards of the state get buried next to the wind farms.

        Oh, please no. I’m 42, and questioning if reaching 52 is even worth it. I sure could have gone without these past 10 years, and it REALLY feels like it’ll only get worse from here.

        I get it now. I get RFKjr. He KNOWS his medical opinions are going to kill people faster. He’s trying to save people from suffering from…his own political party.

        Ok, nope. I was wrong. He’s still an idiot. Still though. 192 years old??? What do I look like? Someone who’s enjoying my day???

          The Crispr dna repair, synthetic young blood substitution, stem cell organ rejuvination, and enzyme telomere repair being perfected and widespread available make age related diseases such as bone loss, wrinkles, cancer, heart failure, cataracts almost nonexistent.

          People look like their late 20s into their 80s.
