@lachs0r@nazrin.moe @dtluna To be fair, at this point there is not really much that can be done individually or collectively to halt climate change; barring something catastrophic like a nuclear war, we are on track for enough warming to activate quite a few climactic feedback loops, meaning more or less a collapse of society and massive disruption to most ecosystems within the century. This seems like less of a funny skit as time goes on: youtu.be/XM0uZ9mfOUI

“there is not really much that can be done … to halt climate change”

Indeed, we can't halt it immediately. But we can chose whether to keep it to a mildly damaging small amount largely halted in a century or so or to allow much more damage over a longer timescale.

Whether it'd amount to a “collapse of society” is another question.

@edavies @lachs0r@nazrin.moe @dtluna If you’ve never read the Pulitzer winning “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert, it’s worth a go. It’s a bit... unnerving.
