What a perfect distillation of why everyone is depressed as fuck. Even when mildly good news comes out, it's rejected and shit on. Would've been possible to understand there are multiple levels of being fucked but don't let that get in the way of being miserable and trying to reinforce the misery of others.
Being angry has its place, happy people don't protest, content people don't change their surrounding.
Trust me, I'm angry. I don't know why it is so hard to see something like that and not think "oh well at least it's slightly better than I thought". But no. Gotta be a binary thinking troglodyte. It's either perfect or it's shit. Nothing in between.
I do not see any organizing (or even good agitating) in these comments. Looks like people having a doom attack (or having fun signaling to their in group).
What's positive about missing all the targets?
It's like those stupid participation trophies. Even if you fail miserably, you still get a participation trophy.
Celebrating this, will give people false impressions that we are actually okay and on target, WHICH WE ARE NOT.
WE ARE STILL FUCKED.
If you think a graph that shows a degree of positive change is nothing, there's nothing you would accept short of avoiding the climate crisis entirely. Which is clearly impossible at this point.
Impossible?? Why?
There is a big difference between can't and won't.
I believe it is possible, if we kill the politicians and billionaires and change the system. Unlikely? Maybe. Impossible? NO.
I also believe there are less destructive paths to solving the climate crisis, but we need the billionaires and politicians to work together to solve this.
Instead, what is happening currently is all the billionaires and politicians working AGAINST solving it! Just look at what the Trump admin is saying regarding climate change and how they are tearing up all the agreements to reduce the emissions.
We are going backwards, and you are delusional if you don't see it.
You should focus on what could actually be done versus telling strangers that having 1% faith things might get better makes them a delusional moron who is at fault for "celebrating". I'm done here.
