I’m very scared, it feels like the world is about to fall apart. I will also remember a passage that I heard, and which does not seem to be a joke: you will own nothing, and will be happy! And it seems that this is gradually becoming a reality.

What scares you?

    Humanity has never experienced man-made climate collapse with 8 billion living souls inhabiting the same planet.

    Humanity will likely survive as a species, but civilization is toast.

      Civilization has collapsed several times. So has climate.

      None if this is new. It only seems that way because people don’t read history books.

        Climate collapse happened over thousands of years in past cases, in a few local cases over hundreds. Not decades like we are seeing now.

        That said we have better technology so we are arguably able to adapt quicker. Either way comparing past climate change to current climate change is not reasonable.
