The biggest one is just the idea that the climate apocalypse can be meaningfully stopped. Like sorry, no, that window closed probably 20 years ago.

Like ‘the’ Futurama bit. That’s literally the in universe solution that they came up with, big block of ice in ocean every year.

And that’s why Futurama’s America has the Sunken City of Atlanta, Georgia

XKCD covered this, it turns out any method of bringing enough ice into Earth’s gravity well will release more energy than it will ever cool the planet down by. (In fact simply harvesting the energy of slowly lowering it down would lower emissions and planetary heating far more).

Still, there’s a fuckton of investment, organisation, and technology we should be working on to slow change and adapt to a different Earth that would save billions of lives. Sadly we’re more busy spending billions on Twitter and luxury cars or whatever.

That’s everyone, I even see the same stuff here. No one wants to accept how bad the situation is.

Yeah I fully believe both “We’re 100% absolutely fucked,” but also every 0.1 degree less warming means millions of deaths that don’t happen

Oh, I absolutely agree with you. But I have seen people saying if we got rid of the rich climate change would end, which just isn’t the case. Even if everyone on earth died, there’s plenty of change built in.

That is not the point. It’s not making it even worse than it is going to become. We are already going to get ass fucked, let’s make sure it’s not with barbed wire instead of a dildo.
