I started getting sad about climate change two years ago after seeing Planet Earth and many documentaries. I completely changed my lifestyle to reduce my part and put significant effort into it.

But seeing rich celebrities who use as much as a common man’s lifetime resources in a week or two, and others who barely put in any effort to combat it, and corporations fucking the entire planet for quarterly profits, barely any efforts towards fighting it even though we had known about its consequences 30-40 years ago, I get this feeling that my efforts are even worth it.

Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival. Just like human beings, Earth’s time has started to end. Its death is inevitable. Everything should come to an end. Only if evolution had given a bit more thought to species survival, we would be in a much better place.

How do you all deal with this?

        It’s an illusion your mind produced.

        Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about

        Changes to climate are going to happen naturally

        We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.

            You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

            The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

            This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

            Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.
