    But I was told capitalism was the best economic system in the world! Would the capitalists lie to me?

    Great Britain will get more than chilly. Arable land was expected to drop from 32% of the region down to 22% by 2080, slashing their economy by a third. If the AMOC is already showing signs of breakdown, that timeline will need to be shortened.

    Haha, I have no hope left. I might just keep playing league and trash talking my teammates. At least when my mind is filled with hate, the despair can’t creep back in :)

      League players are going to keep trash talking and being toxic just to keep each other distracted from the world.

      And I think that’s beautiful <3

      Life on Earth will be fine.

      There have been lifeforms that have survived multiple global extinction events over millions of years.

      Humans won’t. Which is why I stopped caring anymore about efforts to save ecosystems. Humans don’t deserve this planet and will righteously reap what we sow.

      Other life will go “Oh no, humans are gone… Anyways.”

        Whales, Elephants, and the other Great Apes are all likely to go too, and they don’t deserve it. Humans brought this on ourselves, but the loss of peaceful intelligent life is a true tragedy.

    Surely the circulation will increase in power and shift to different places. The circulation of water isn’t going to just stop, right?

      Yes, collapse here is a fear mongering term, because it makes you think the current will stop without actually saying the word “stop.” It’s just shifting. Changing. We are in the process of coming out of an ice age. Things gonna be moving.

    About to be a total Doomer, but I would just like to remind everyone that the current effects we are seeing are due to carbon pumped into the atmosphere 30 YEARS AGO! And emissions have only increased since then.

    As a millennial, it’s been a hard reckoning that greed and evil truly won before I was born. There was nothing I could ever have done about it. All I can do is just ride it out. In a way, I am privileged. I’ve always had an interest in history, how fortunate I am to witness it’s end.
