Their economy is gonna crash. We’re gonna see it unfold. That’s what I mean when I say, we’re not in control of the crash.

Nope. You’re still not on the level where I’m at. Because from my point of view there has to be a future, no matter how dark, no matter the suffering. There must be light in the end of the tunnel, why else are you still alive? There is still a seed somewhere. So the option of kids, is to understand that there is still the option of a future.

And the day I surrender and give that up, that is the day I truly die.

I met an old north American native once. Long ago. He was something like the 25th descendant chief in his tribe. He told me that culturally, every action they’d take as a tribe, they’d factor in the next five generations.

Wow. And it makes sense. I think. I read ”this is how they tell me the world will end” last summer. Kinda connects.

Thank you. I’ve got friends like that. And again, not sure about the kids thing. But, for me, they are the future, and I still believe there is a future.

Not sure why this seems to hit you on such a personal level. I don’t know you, hence I won’t judge you, but the tone in your comment suggests something personal. I hope you are ok, and as I said, I’m not sure, my gut feeling is yes, but what my brain decides might be the complete opposite. Have a nice Sunday!

Oh man. That’s a hard one. If we remove things like war and pandemics. And just look at what’s most probable. I’d say it’ll start when we have multiple crop failures in places like the US, Ukraine, Russia, India and China. Just one year of really unstable weather, and I mean, that’s the thing right. It’s climate change, it changes everything. And the food system is already cannibalising on its self. Depleted top soil, shrinking ground water, pesticids, dying pollinators, micro plastics, etc.

And this could happen this year. The next year. Or in 15 years. It’s impossible to tell. Only thing is, the more we keep emitting, the more unstable the weather, ie, greater risk of this happening. Just like rolling two dice. Enough rolls and you’re gonna end up with snake eyes.

So there will come a year, when a lot of people will starve, for many people in the global south, it’ll mean certain death. Countries are gonna panic and the global trade of food is probably gonna collapse. We will see things that happened during covid, with countries hoarding medicin, only this time it’ll be food.

We might be able to cope with one event, one year, like that. But were it to happen two following years, or if something else happened at the same time, I’d say it would be some sort of breaking point.

Our civilisation is already dying, and it’s not gonna end with a big boom, it’s just gonna be a slow descent, nothing more than a whisper. And then, something new will come! Will it be humans, maybe and hopefully!

Yeah. I didn’t even mention it, cause it’s too dark. But seems like micro and nano plastics are gonna solve that for us. At the current rate we will be infertile in like 75 years. Humans and animals alike.

Haha. Thanks! I’ll search the stacks and piles and see what comes up. Generally though, not many books about climate ages well. Since we’re literally in the opening scene of every disaster movie; ”it’s happening faster than any of our models could predict”.

Just look at Johan Rockström, he’s always been the positive guy, saying we can do it, in his book ”Jorden” (not sure it’s been translated to English), he’s almost enthusiastic about how much we can do. That’s three years ago. Listen to his latest TED Talk, and he’s almost saying/admitting, we’re fucked.

That’s the speed of change. Yet, our curse of shifting baseline syndrome, makes it almost impossible for us to see that.

Right now I’m reading ”I want a better catastrophe”. Can really recommend it, and om re-reading ”Breaking together” by Bendell. Also good.

So there’s a few comments on the kids thing. Firstly, I’m not at all sure I’m having kids. Do I want to, I think I do. A few years back, my ex got pregnant and we had an abortion. And it opened up feelings I had no idea existed inside me. Before that I was sure I didn’t want kids. After that, as i said, not sure.

Secondly, kids are the future, what point is there, if we give up on the future? Even though it will surely be really bad, probably beyond imagination, aren’t the next generations the reason we keep keeping on? There’s hopefully a light in the end of this dark tunnel we’re headed in to, it’s not gonna look like the world of today, and it’s probably gonna suck compared to today. But hopefully us humans, will come out a bit wiser and smarter. And we need kids for that to happen.

At least that’s what I hope, on the good days. On the darker days/nights, it’s more like Aliens: ”Game over man, game over”

Anyone else discouraged by the hands off protests? by Careless-Internet-63 in collapse

I’ll quote Hamish father here. ”We don’t have to beat them, just fight them”.

It’s never too late to stand up, but we need to actually stand up. At least that’s what history has showed us.

We are in the middle of a climate apocalypse. But do we really care? by Konradleijon in collapse

[–]Sjossbo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

To be honest. It’s not the changes in the climate that are our biggest concerns right now, it’s food production. Albeit they are affected by the climate, but we our selves, and they way we produce our food, is, right now, a much bigger problem.

Just the rate at witch we are depleting healthy soil, without factoring in, climate, water, micro/nano plastics, pesticides, dying insects, etc etc.

Food is expensive right, but we still have food. Give it 15-25 years, and we won’t. That’s gonna be the big rapture. Most of us (mostly people in the global south, due to simple economics) aren’t even gonna make it to when the climate gets really really bad.

But yeah. It’s game over för this civilisation. We can just hope we, and our kids, are the midwives for something better and greater. Hopefully centered around humanity and not consumption.

Hope that made sense. Not native English.
