See? This is why I'm a so called "climate doomer."
1) Because fixing the climate requires reducing anti-Black racism, and letting Black folk in the US vote, but the US just does not want to do that. There is no viable path to making progress on climate change without reducing anti-Black racism. None.
2) Because so many people will see headlines like this, and not even recognize the problem with it. China is doing the right thing! But we frame that as a negative.

@mekkaokereke I suspect you are like me...
There will be people and a civilization but the form that takes might be completely different from what we might think it is in the future
Not sure this is doomerism but I wish more people understood all the problems are connected and your problem is my problem and we should try to fix it and we can start by going after one problem
like eating an elephant (local expression) 
@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.ioYeah, I don't think the world will end, or civilisation will completely collapse, or anything. I just think we'll be sitting there at 3.5 degrees of warming, on our way to 4 degrees, and just... sorta accepting it?
Accepting flash floods, crop failures, wet bulb disasters, climate migration, regional government instability, and generally increased mortality.
@mekkaokereke At present (no change) I would say you are right
@mekkaokereke @Aviva_Gary People (read: rich, white) will just move to the poles and talk about how sad they are that so many people had to die.
