One of the biggest obstacles to avoiding global climate breakdown is that so many people think there’s nothing we can do about it. They point out that record-breaking heat waves, fires, and storms are already devastating communities and economies throughout the world. And they’ve long been told that temperatures will keep rising for decades to come, no matter how many solar panels replace oil derricks or how many meat-eaters go vegetarian. No wonder they think we’re doomed.

I’m so tired of this bullshit. I am a doomer. I believe that our current society will collapse, rather sooner than later.

Why? Because the consensus is “we can still avoid the worst if we all come together now and work together!”. You mean like we did during the global pandemic? The opposite is happening, we are widening our differences and move apart. We fight each other in stupid wars.

I am a doomer. I live a simple life, choose not to fly for holidays, hardly ever drive and avoid things that I believe are bad for climate if I can. If governments would come together to tackle the issue of global warming, I would appreciate it. Even if I would get taxed harder. Or if my food gets rationed. Man, even if I would be called to voluntarily work on a solution. I am longing for action!

I tell you what is one of the biggest obstacles to avoiding climate breakdown: It’s the companies, that sow doubt in science. It’s politicians that divide the people. It’s the climate deniers, who don’t want action.
