Amidst all the Marie Antoinette privileged bullshit on the Internet, there is nothing quite as obscene to me as climate doomerism.

Personally, I am tired of the extremism on both sides.

The "if we are all going to die, so why do anything?" attitude is a direct response to "if we don't go back to the stone age, we are all going to die!" attitude.

And we also have the "boy who cried wolf" problem. The world was supposed to end 40 years ago. And then 30 years ago. And then 20 year ago. And 10 years ago. And in 10 years. Or in 20 years.

Even if the wolf eventually shows up, no one believes them now. They've lost all credibility.

I am not denying climate change and the effects of human activity on the climate. Science shows that to be true. We do need to treat the environment better and we need to stop pouring toxins and pollutants into the environment. And we need a plan. But all of this doom and gloom in both directions is getting old and people are getting tired of it.

Part of the problem is that a lot of this climate change stuff is virtue signaling. They keep their oil-based life with their oil-based plastics and oil-based phone and oil-based wardrobe and buy stuff that requires oil to transport. But on Instagram, they are saving the environment?
