    I know it’s still in fashion to believe we can recover and that the future can still be saved, but I’m pretty sure it’s over for humans as a society.

      Think about how many times in human history a person in a particular place and time could look around and come to the same conclusion.

      Shit waxes and shit wanes. So it goes.

      Even this shit is a blip in the grand scheme of things.

          It’s unlikely humans will die out even in the most extreme climate change scenarios. We’ll just be in a much deteriorated state at the poles.

      Yeah I don’t think global society ever restores once large scale open warfare kicks off in a few years/decades. Not sure if it’ll be all the nazis or climate death that kicks it off.
