Why worry about something I can't control. The sack of meat I call a body will only take so much abuse from the world's oligarchs before it gives up..their bodies too.
I can rearrange me life to the most extremes, but my neighbour will still burn garbage and consume twice as much as I ever will within a week. There's no stopping this until companies are held accountable and the rich are jailed, which we all know will never happen.
Ah yes climate doomerism. "The Earth is going to become uninhabitable, but there's nothing anyone can do about it now so I'll just keep on keeping on". Classic!
I never said nothing cant be done...
True, you said "Why worry about something I can't control". Paired with "I never said nothing cant be done" gives me the impression that you think something can be done, just not by you.
If you don't think you can, who do you think could?
It isn't going to be just one person that will motivate change, it will have to be a bunch of people. You could be one of those people, but I don't think those people will have much success if they maintain the "Why worry about something I can't control" way of thinking.
If all the people with a brain who give a shit stress themselves out into having health issues and heart attacks, what are we left with?
Health issues and heart attacks.
