I’ve been hearing this a lot in climate change circles implying that the entire human race will be extinct in 30 years due to excessive heat. I get that climate change is a serious concern, but is this pushing it too far in regards to fearmongering? Or is this a legitimate prospect?..
Norwegians didn’t commit 9/11 and they aren’t generally brown, not that ‘brown people are all terrorism’ has any validity to it, but it’s still a convincing casus belli for the US government to invade all of the ‘muslim’ countries (that weren’t of course their primary oil trading partner Saudi Arabia). The reason Norway is not invaded is because there is not a strong enough casus belli to justify invading them.
Just wanted to know as someone who is looking into moving away from gmail…
Pessimistic within the context of what? Them realizing that Capitalism isn’t going to bail them out of climate disaster, or within the context of ‘everything is going to end, the entire human race is going to die, why even try to do anything?’ that seems to be typical of faux-Communist Nietzscheists/Zizekists (not accusing you of being one, though I have seen these types of people on this site, not going to name anyone.)
If it is the latter, there is not sufficient evidence to support this. Capitalism will made way too unstable by climate change to continue to cause the earth to heat up enough to kill everyone on the planet, plus there are a few places on Earth that may actually benefit from climate change, West Antarctica and Canada are a few examples.
