Aldo Leopold quote that lives daily in my mind because of this.

One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.

Ive got to the point i cant not anymore. Just say it, mention the darkness that coronas their conversation. Eventually people start talking about abstracts only. I believe in you Kuroxppi.

P (while also complaining about cold)

I work in ecology/climate and our conversations still go like this lol. Biggest difference is the weather small talk is usually appended with “…well you know…” in allusion to the ongoing collapse

Sat on the tram this morning listening to two older women talking about how lovely it is how summer seems to be here a month early. (My brain: Yeah sure, totally good and cool considering we are near the arctic.)

They go on: Such a shame it will be cold next week because summer is so short and then you are already used to the lovely weather. (My brain: Yeah lets not think about all the birds nesting already, the insects and other animals who are now awake too soon. The trees who are putting out leaves now. It getting freezing now is not a vibes problem, it's a potential tragedy.)

Then they carry on talking about how nice it is that all the birds are signing like it's summer and talk about their childhood bird memories. My brain: ...)

mention it, nobody thinks that it's normal and personally I like learning new ways my state is collapsing
