The solution is of course to persecute trans people.
Don’t forget about deporting entire families if just one of them is here illegally.
Demographic Collapse? Never heard of him!
Meanwhile, history shows that periods of instability and crisis can provide fertile ground for rapid, positive change. This is the other side to derailment risk.
The conditions for doom loops also provide opportunities to accelerate virtuous circles. For example, out of the crises of the interwar period and the devastation of the second world war came legal protections for human rights, universal welfare systems and decolonisation. More recently, the first Trump administration spurred new waves of climate activism.
Great positive message.
“When the world is actively murdering us, maybe we’ll finally see some positive change for a few select oppressed groups.”
The world isn’t actively murdering us.

You just kinda linked to the IPCC website. Care to expand on what you’re hoping I get from that
I linked the AR6 report since you haven’t read it.
That rapid change can be caused by or result in massive upheaval and damage.
Just like it mentions WW2. It’d be great if that didn’t have to happen, though.
Honestly, let’s wrap this shit up. I am exhausted.
It’s not too late to start Project Sundial
Blow a hole in the atmosphere, set half the planet on fire, and if anything miraculously survives, nuclear winter’s older sibling will wreck their shit.
Beginning??
Yeah, they must be new here.
“The conversation, were different”
Proceeds to dish out slop for the doom scrollers
The science shows the current predicament and the fact that any “good things” are based on the idea of massive reforms (or even revolutions) occurring. This makes it very easily to estimate how bad the situation is based on what’s not happening.
As the climate chaos gets worse, it’s reasonable to expect more bad news, not less.
It always reasonable to expect bad news from the popular press .
I wish you were correct, but the popular press is usually loaded with optimism, especially techno-optimism.
So this is wrong then ?

There is clear evidence that the prevalence of negative media reporting has increased substantially over the past years. There is evidence that this negative reporting adversely affects social interactions, and thereby also health and well-being outcomes. Given the wide reach of negative media reporting and the contagion of such reporting and the resulting interactions, the effects on health are arguably substantial.
Your drawing a false equivalency. Just because there is an over-reporting of negative stories does not mean that all negative stories are false.
While climate change news is A popular target for doom scroll fodder, I think in this case it is accurate, and I think it is important to understand the situation well, even if it’s not good news.
Apart from the fact I’m not drawing any equivalence and I never said the story was false.
Yeah, but how you gonna win internet points if you’re not overly cynical to the point of hyperbole? /s
I appreciate you pointing out the obvious negative bent of most current news media. It’s why I don’t bother with them anymore; they don’t care about an accurately weighted story, they want clicks and subscriptions.
It always reasonable to expect bad news from the popular press .
This It implies that they’re only reporting it because it is bad news. Which has a whole other host of implications and make sure you’re aware of it.
Perhaps I read too much into it, but I don’t believe that’s the case.
