    Honestly watching people deny that COVID was real as it happened around them in real time kind of drove home to me that there was no way they’d recognize climate change. The longer time scale, and the fact that it’s more difficult to link a specific disaster to a specific cause (vs uncle bob coughed on someone, then they went to the hospital and died) I think means climate change will be hard mode.

      Yeah. You hear stories about dancing plagues or witch trials and you think that humanity had gotten over that part. We’re somewhat more enlightened.

      Then this shit happens.

      Climate change has been hard mode for 3 decades now. And that was only when the scientists could get the media attention to run with it. It’s been a hard sell since we tried to first convince people that maybe we shouldn’t dump raw sewage into our drinking water.

    Par for the course, honestly. I grew up in a family that would deny inconvenient evidence staring them right in the face. The capacity for self delusion is infinite with these people.

    This is very unrealistic. The guy in the last panel didn’t even call the person on the phone a dirty socialist when asking for his government money!

    The earth’s climate is always changing though. We’ll adapt just like we always have.

      Get out of here with this nonsense. In the most literal sense, yes, the climate is always shifting. But this is such a bad faith thing to say. We know humans are having a negative impact, and we know more clearly the systems in place that are driving us off a cliff for profit. Acting like nothing is wrong is at best stupidly naive, and at worst astonishingly malicious.

        That one always bugged me because I like the climate as-is (without any more species going extinct, or crazier weather or flooding, new blights, etc)

        Life is the ultimate virus to the environment of earth. The earth would be massively different with no life on it at all.

      If by adapt you mean face a mass migration event like we’ve never seen before, see people starve because the places where we were growing our food are now inhabitable, see towns burn because of forest fires the size of which we can’t imagine, get stuck going outside less and less as temperatures are always turned to 11 either cold or hot…

      Sure… We’ll adapt. How many of us will there be left when things starts settling?

      And to think, your first comment on lemmy could have been anything but you chose this nonsense.

        Also it’s super unhinged that you’d go stalk someone’s profile just because you disagree with them. Thanks for the laugh loser.

      Sometimes it’s good to do things that make the world a more livable place.

      Like taking a shower even though our skin is always getting dirty and we can adapt to being dirty.

      It does, but not this quickly, not this catastrophically.

          …why are you here? Like seriously, you’re in the wrong place. You wanna find an instance that is interested in your views, okay but this is not the place

            Honestly I don’t really understand the instance thing. Care to elaborate on it for me? There are other lemmy instances which I understand, but what does that entail? They have different subreddits? But the same account works?

              Each instance is run on a server that has its own rules and communities (communities are kinda like subreddits), communities are allowed to have the same names as on other instances (say, technology@beehaw, [email protected]). You can subscribe to as many or as few as you like on different instances, if you don’t like how an instance is run you can always find another one that suits you more. All this can be done on the same account. However whatever you have picked as your home instance cannot be changed currently, if you want to change your home a new account needs to be made iirc.
