I only do it to reduce my tax burden. I have a feeling we won’t be living in the same world in 30 years if we’re alive /

Breh we haven't even crossed 1.5 yet and the world is already burning. Climate scientists have drastically underestimated the severity of climate change. To think what life will be like in a 1.5 degree world is unfathomable. 2 degrees may quite possibly lead to collapse.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
And politicians around the globe won’t do shyt about this. Many scientists know in private we are fukked but can’t say it in public. The reason they will be called doomers, alarmist and be laughed out. Read anything scientist who tell blunt truth they all agree we are fukked in the next 25-30 years.

Plenty of climate scientists knew the truth it’s just they didn’t want to tell it because they would be call alarmist, ostracized by their peers, lose their jobs etc. The ones that do speak out are called alarmist and doomers. We live in a society that doesn’t want to deal with bad news or realism. Toxic positivity has made us not prepare for the worst and hope for the best. This is why we never adequately prepare for disasters. For one it’s not profitable and secondly we don’t want to think bad things can happen. We are simply hoping for the best that’s it. No politician will win elections telling it like it is(Jimmy Carter).
In the end it’s like we are in a car going full speed ahead. And we just drove of a cliff. And inside the car people are arguing if we really did got off the cliff or not . Arguing about wearing seatbelts or not while we plunge into oblivion. We were warned it’s just we ignored it for profits, technology, leisure and consumption.
Utah’s Great Salt Lake has been shrinking for years. Now it faces a drought
"The lake’s levels are expected to hit a 170-year low this year. It comes as the drought has the US west bracing for a brutal wildfire season and coping with already low reservoirs. The Utah governor, Republican Spencer Cox, has begged people to cut back on lawn watering and “pray for rain”."
Climate change: Science failed to predict flood and heat intensity
"Top climate scientists have admitted they failed to predict the intensity of the German floods and the North American heat dome."

Pray for rain, Crehs
I agree with everything said. We're not just arguing if we drove off a cliff or not. We're still arguing about whether or not we're headed for a cliff in first place.
I agree that we've built a system that isn't designed to handle a complex and systemic issue such as climate change. In fact our current system requires that we do the least to mitigate climate change and ecological collapse because it would require systematic change and the abandonment of the "infinite growth" model. The politicians and corporations are doing exactly what you would expect in such a system.
I was listening to an interview with Tyson Yunkaporta (an Indigenous scholar and author of the book "Sand Talk") and he said something simple that stuck with me. He said "This system is a dog, it don't wanna change". It dawned on me that this system will never correct itself because its our system that's the problem. Our politicians, who are largely bought off by the ruling class, will never do anything substantial until its too late. And the ruling class will never ever give up their reckless plunder of earths resources as long as there is a profit to be made.
At this point I think collapse is the only realistic means of preventing the worse effects of climate change. Its a very hard pill to swallow but I think the violent dissolution of global industrial civilization by means of environmental disaster will be the best thing for the planet and our long term prospects of survival as a species.

US drilling approvals increase despite Biden climate pledge
"Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president, underscoring President Joe Biden’s reluctance to more forcefully curb petroleum production in the face of industry and Republican resistance."
Absolute madness
