It's socialism or barbarism, folks. It's increasingly likely we as a species aren't going to get our shit together fast enough to stop our planet from warming 2 degrees, which will have catastrophic effects on sea level rise, food security, and general habitability of vast swaths of populated places.
I spend a lot of time on /r/collapse reading news and discussion to remind me that I'm not the only one freaking out about this. More importantly though, I'm thinking about how to structure my life and prepare in the coming years as shit gets much, much worse.
How are you all coping?
We are all doing our best, but at the end of the day whether all of humanity perishes or not, you will die just the same. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I cope by de-mystifying the possibility of dying to climate change related causes. Like, it wouldn't feel different from any other kind of death, and same for climate change related squalor. People just keep going until they can't anymore and you can't resist that process so you just have to decide to flow with it.
That said, /r/collapse is pretty shit, lots of sensationalist blackpilled defeatists with a mixed bag of politics. I followed it for a while but it honestly serves no function but to demoralise you in exchange for a the tiny thrill of reading apocalyptic predictions. The truth is, we don't know for certain what the future holds, and we may be coming upon those days, as Engles said, that are like 20 years embodied.
