The title says it all. It’s November and I have yet to wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt. It’s 25C outside and whenever I go for a walk I sweat like a pig. This time of the year I should be taking out my heavy coat, jeans and a jacket should be the bare minimum.
I am located in Athens, Greece where the weather is usually nice but not this nice…
It’s like a daily reminder of the doom that has to follow. How are you coping with this?
I’m coping with the shadow of doom by not breeding. To be fair, my initial reason was simply that I didn’t want to mess up any kids the way I’d been messed up, so I chose sterilization. I’ve never regretted it and repeatedly found great comfort in my refusal to subject offspring to this world (and in sparing this poor overcrowded world to the burden of more people).
Not having kids is the best thing you can do to help the climate.
You could drive a Dodge ram pickup, eat meat everyday, and use plastic straws, and you’ll probably contribute less harm to the environment than the greenest person out there if they have a kid.
Underrated solution. I think the biggest threat to humans is that we simply made too many of ourself.
Living the DINK life is best life.
