    “If the Earth System gets into the region of chaotic behavior, we will lose all hope of somehow fixing the problem.”

    They still think anyone is working to fix the problem! Where are they getting that idea from?

    I remain confident that Earth will survive humanity, even if humanity doesn’t. But I can definitely see her making our inevitable demise a hellish experience, considering how horribly many of us have treated her.

    Spiritualism aside, really hope we can avert climate crisis but not feeling super confident over here.

      Humans are like cockroaches. Some of them will always survive, unless you just burn the whole house down.

    I just started reading “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia Butler and its crazy how real the dystopia she depicts seems. It feels like we’re only a decade or two away from that reality.
