What kind of collapse i mean?: Global.

I’ve just just just started preparing, well, better late than never, right?

    You don’t have to be egotistical to think it will collapse. Just follow the data.

    Thinking you’ll survive though, I agree with you. We’re both headed for the burn pits.

      what data is that? the data that shows human civilization has grown and expanded almost non-stop for the past 10,000 years? despite all the setbacks it has had?

        The data also shows humanity has existed for far longer without civilisation than with. So that is not a very good usage of data.

        I mean the data showing that none of those “setbacks” were from a change in climate that will be more severe and orders of magnitude shorter in timeframe than the worst mass extinction in the fossil record, the Permian extinction, where 95% of sea life and 75% of land life went extinct. That’s not talking about the biomass that died, but the number species.

        I’m talking about a “setback” that has a high likelihood of just scalping us as a species and leaving us for dead. Maybe we will make it through but it will be akin to the bottleneck in our species around 70,000years ago when we dropped to about a thousand breeding pairs.

        Shits on fire, yo.

          the climate changes all the time. people adapt.

          they move, they change crops, they adopt new technologies.

            You’re literally not reading what I am writing. Reread my comment. The scale and speed matter. The shear, unadulterated ARROGANCE of your comment is staggering.

                You mean the they that has been burying the data for decades? Now they WANT me to know exactly how bad it is? I am sure that they are happy at my hopelessness, but they didn’t orchestrate it with intent through disseminating climate collapse data.

                The data is just really fucking depressing.

                Yeah there is stuff that can be done but short of upending the economic system we have, it won’t affect the numbers enough to matter. I don’t know why you feel so carefree as to handwaved the extremely bad predictions as a psyop to depress the masses and prevent revolt. If anything it foments it.

                The only logical solution to the problem presented is a large scale sacrifice of the billionaires to the god of the sun.
