    By that standard you’ll have to be dragged kicking and screaming towards energy transition

    That’s highly ironic since I’m apparently the only one who actually would support drastic climate action while everyone else votes for the comfortable fascists that push for coal because their fucking eggs are too expensive.

    Whatever, I’m done with this species. It’s clear that you all want this to happen so who the fuck am I to stop you all from jumping from the cliff.

      So it was nihilism, then.

      Look, I hate to break it to you, but you’re not that special. You’re not the only one who “gets it” and you don’t get to be done with the species.

      You will have a much easier time at it if you at least try to factor in the concept of the issue being complex and ongoing as opposed to building your entire online footprint around the idea that we could fix this by flipping a switch if we were all committed enough. Not only that, but it would also be a lot more productive in terms of helping promote better outcomes instead of serving as a useful scapegoat for some fashy troll to show how all climate activists are emo kids or something.

      Which is not to say that drastic, sometimes painful action won’t be needed. Alongside, I’m afraid, significant unavoidable human and economic cost from checks that we’ve already cashed in.
