Hopefully I'm safe-ish in Québec…
It's sad to see all these climate tipping points taking hold with humans not even (really) trying to slow them down, forget reversing them.
Continiously bickering over pointless things. With wars taking over unexpectedly one after another (in retrospect, maybe not that unexpected). China just itching for anything to start their own little "special operation" next door. While some other militarized countries/organizations are too trigger happy and in fear of missing out on the action.
We may indeed not make it past the hyperobject that is Climate Change simply because we are too busy blaming inflation, opposing political views, illusions of our own imagination and an unending amount of irrationality. Since it is inconvenient/difficult to try and understand slightly complex concept such as taxation, vaccination, immigration, or even just a map amongst so many things, let alone complex systems feeding into each other such as the Human-Ecology-Climate systems.
Moreover, the prevalence of misinformation doesn't help.
Nevertheless, let us hope for better times. 🥹
you're not.
If you're on earth, you're not safe from catastrophic climate change unfortunately.
our only hope is a absolutely radical shift towards decarbonisation, however the drive of capitalism and greed is an unstoppable force.
Enjoy normal life while we still have it at this point.
We're not safe anywhere because people move. Borders ar nothing more than a concept.
