But what if it's slower than expected? And we keep Business As Normal going till 2075 before the axe falls? I don't know, 50 years I've been waiting so far. Maybe I won't see it. Maybe my kids won't either.

@breadandcircuses @DoubleTreble What's the point. I'm never going to see the rainforest anyway. ;) Seriously though, I get mildly irritated with the belief that it's all going to collapse in the very short term. Like the /r/collapse view: "we'll be lucky to see 2030". It will be faster than expected but only because we're in denial. But Business As Normal could easily still be going strong in 2050; A mere 27 years away. Like I said. Read Limits to Growth in early 70s. Still waiting.  @jbond @breadandcircuses @DoubleTreble It's here, just unevenly distributed, and the worst part is that the ones causing most of it are the least affected. @Mabande @breadandcircuses @DoubleTreble The clarification still didn't come out quite right. Yes, indeed. Collapse is already here, just not evenly distributed. Even in Brexitania it's easy to forget you could find yourself in Syria or Somalia, or Pakistan. And Climate Change is just a bit of weird weather if you're not in Delhi in May. Or Phoenix. Or Sydney. |
@jbond @DoubleTreble I'm glad you clarified that this is sarcasm!
