I disagree, I think we're fucked.

I know I've been there, it's nice because you don't have to face the anxiety of the future if you can pretend it isn't going to happen.

The problem is you end up spiraling into darkness, it's only when look up at the light and hear the sounds of everyone else having fun that you realize you need to crawl from the mire you've wallowed in too long.

The world is a great place, enjoy it and look for positive things, you'll be surprised how many there are.

Lovely platitudes lol, ignorance is bliss, my friend.

You have no argument beside empty snark, you call me ignorant but it's very clear you're the one with nothing backing your opoon other than a strong desire for it to be true.

My argument is that every month for the past year has been the hottest month ever recorded lol. We're fucked.

Yeah but do you know that the climate models expected this within the +2c range due to combined factors including El Nino? This isn't a sudden spiral to unexpected doom it's a statistical bump we knew was coming, during la Nina the right wing will be saying that upward trends haven't continued and then we'll all have to suddenly remember how trends and cycles work...

And yes two degree warming is scary, it's not climate collapse scary though based on all the science we know and it's something we can solve if we continue to transition away from fossil fuel. The transition is going pretty well too, even the US has more solar with California recently having more production from renewables than demand. EV transition is going great too, globally it's starting to make a small but visible dent in oil demand, electrification of heating with efficient heat pumps likewise is affecting gas demand in many areas - those trends will continue and fossil fuel usage will decline.

It's genuinely likely that a child born today won't see an operational gas station on the road by the time they start driving, if they drive because pushes to increase public transit are increasing as labour and materials costs fall due to automation.

We're also moving into energy abundance where things like solar are so cheap and easy.that technologies like carbon capture and storage become viable on scales which make significant differences - especially if the carbon is used in construction or fabrication, by 2100 we might be making laws restricting people from extracting too much carbon.
