The world is going nowhere in the fight against climate change. This is like an enormous asteroid heading for Earth, as in the movie Armageddon, while we all choose to ignore it and go on holidays. Millions who failed science at school comfort themselves with the coming catastrophe, with fairy tale science on social media. I often post about how the fight for status is all of human life. This is a perfect example. The status quo (the current state of play in the status games) will never, ever voluntarily change things. It always has to be forced to be changed, by catastrophic external threat, like natural disasters, war or plagues. We saw with Covid how not even plagues shake the kidult status quo. So climate change will be a big ‘let’s go to Bali’ yawn. Our only way to avoid total catastrophic destruction of civilisation itself, is the enormous disruption of China, the only nation on Earth taking climate change seriously. But I doubt even that will do it. We’ve gifted future generations the end of possibly all human life on Earth as we’ve come to know it. Some will argue with that, the same people who failed science at school and now apprently are experts in it because they use social media. To those people I always say now, stay in your own lane, you don’t have a fucking clue, you wouldn’t let others come and tell you how to do your job, hey?
