if you met droid you would acknowledge him as a brother as i did. anoher skinny scrag end born to kill. seething with resentment. i love my kind and i love you two, my brothers. we're probably literally cousins. i bet any money we're related. im a little bit better looking but not not by all that much. we're obviously brothers.

I’ve always hated those boats, forget what they’re called. What kind of boat do you work on again?

I’m sometimes quite paralysed by it if I’m honest. I manage to feel guilty about doing fuck all and fairly certain that most anything would be futile at a bigger picture level. Sometimes I think too big picture ie maybe it’s just not possible for a rapid growing techno advanced civilisation to not hit these tipping points. At other times I feel we need a revolution to cut the oil baron tendrils from media gov etc, spill blood like droid wants. It’s always in the back of my mind and I get slightly more worried over time as the data gets progressively more terrifying. I just need a clear action though eg smash in the valley tech nerds skulls with golf clubs

I recycle, eat less meat than I used to, pick up litter when I come across it, keep all my plugs turned off unless I'm actually using them and try not to waste things or buy too much shit. I haven't protested, taken legal action or done anything particularly serious. It's all minor lifestyle stuff and some of it just seems practical and cost effective rather than being purely a response to climate change.

Globally consumption is far outstripping the shifts to cleaner energy and we’re very far from a place where powerful countries can express their vulnerability and interdependence, our collective fragility to actually cooperate in the face of this threat… so we really need aliens to step in

On the plus side, global emissions are set to peak within a couple of years and then - very slowly - start to decline:
Fossil fuel emissions to peak within two years
The inflection point for fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is nigh, with emissions on track to peak by 2025, according to Rystad Energy research and analysis.
On the other hand, the positive feedback cycles that are now in place are so strong, temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come after that.
