    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.

      I agree and I am not even preoccupied, but there simply hasn’t been any chance for me to make a dent in this. Hasn’t been for a long time, at least since 1900 (!!) where we basically already knew where everything was headed.

      Yea, the graph showing us up 4 standard deviations isn’t easy to understand implications. But I imagine on a person level, it’s something like “if you live somewhere hot and humid, you better make sure you can afford to run and repair your AC”. On a global level, mammals have existed for 200,000,000 years, yet in 200 years we’ve toyed with global extinction for shareholder profits.

    I read an article on the internet that says you’re wrong, and it’s chemtrails and 5G. And Big Pharma.

    And solar. And wind mills. And what they did to General Lee. And Aunt Jemima.

    Do your research, sheeple!

    While I believe making sure more people are aware that climate change is a big deal, especially people with money that can actually do something about it, I’m hesitant to rely on data in a dire warning from McKensey in what is basically a We’re Hiring post.

    Some tiny history of who McKensey is:
    The firm has been associated with a number of notable scandals, including the collapse of Enron in 2001, the 2007–2008 financial crisis, and facilitating state capture in South Africa. It has also drawn controversy for involvement with Purdue Pharma, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and authoritarian regimes. Michael Forsythe and Walt Bogdanich, reporters for The New York Times, wrote a book entitled When McKinsey Comes to Town about the controversially unethical work history of the company.
