        More extreme weather, some of our most important farmlands becoming unproductive to an extent not seen before.

        Looks like meat famine’s back on the menu boys!

            I don’t understand how anybody can discuss the state of our climate collapse in any positive light.

            “I mean hey, the oceans are acidifying faster than we expected, and the AMOC is slowing down, and the ice sheets are melting rapidly, and the ocean is swallowing our coastlines, and global temperatures have jumped significantly in the last several years, and the overall climate has been becoming more extreme and dangerous over the years, and we’re pumping shit into the atmosphere at record paces, and more parts of the earth are becoming uninhabitable, and we’re also dealing with stronger more intense storms and hurricanes, and there’s plastic poisoning everything and everyone everywhere, and we keep dumping heavy metals into the groundwater, and animal populations are declining, but hey, keep that chin up! Don’t listen to those negative nancies, they’ll harshen your vibe.”

              Don’t forget that we’re still burning the (wrong) Amazon and the US government just deleted all its climate science from the internet.

              Sure there is isn’t a lot to be optimistic about. I’m not optimistic in any quantifiable sense. I just like to think “we can make it through this” rather than “we’re all gonna die”. That’s the only way how I can keep my sanity.

                Right, and that is commendable. Just please keep comments like “You guys seem like a fun bunch to hang out with” to yourself, it’s not really adding to the discussion and we don’t need snide remarks about the fear and uncertainty we feel in regards to the collapse of the global environment. Keep that chin up, don’t let people harsh your vibe, but please don’t push down when people are rightfully worried about the future. Things are going to be getting very hard for a lot of people a lot sooner than we were hoping for, it’s only natural that people are going to feel negatively about it.

      I heard this would lead to a strange case where europeans would support global warming because the temperatures would drop by so much.

      Good point, of course once the plankton collapses and archea start to take over they’ll have to deal with all the sulfur dioxide

          Yeah sorry to be the one to break it to you. The shutdown of the AMOC is not only the collapse of the ocean ecosystem and an upset of global temperature it’s also going to make the shore line give off toxic fumes that smell like rotten eggs.

          Chatgpt gave me this. It’s nice and playful and wild.

          Sure! Here’s a rhymed version that keeps the vibe playful and wild:

          It had hot fire, burning so bold, Bitches be crazy, outta control! Word is bond, yo, truth be told— We ride through the heat, hearts ice cold!
