      Probably cause deep down we know something is happening and it feels like shits about to hit the fan. Ocean temperatures are skyrocketing and we can’t pretend everything is fine like we have for the past couple of years

          The scientist expected it to not look like this, it is not due to the solar maximum, literally no one has any idea why the oceans are not cooling. The best idea we have is that something is different than it was a couple of years ago, but afaik no one has been able to pin down exactly what it is thats causing the surge in ocean temps. And this is in 2024, when the warming is supposed to be manageable, imagine it in 2100 and beyond. We are fucked, been fucked for years, we just pretend like we have some control over nature. Full system collapse around 2050 at the latest by most estimates, and thats the optimistic outlook on the future. The capitalist system might just keep grinding along, destroying everything and everyone in its path until there is nothing left to consume.

      Seriously it happened very quickly, what’s going on? Did lemmy get linked to some sad doomer community elsewhere on the internet?

        I think there was another reddit influx. Not sure how large. Or what prompted it.

      Things in generally seem to be getting worse for at least a decade, especially for those born in this century.

      Granted, the whole Ecological problems thing has been going on for longer, though there were some improvements in the 70s (polution controls that stopped acid rain) and the 90s (replacing CFCs and reverting the hole in the Ozone layer) but even some of those things were partially reverted in the last decade or two (the whole Diesel Emissions Scandal is to a large extent about emissions of the very same stuff that caused acid rain and hole in Ozone layer is growing again apparently due to CFC use in China).

      As many have pointed out, the reversal of the trend of improvement in the median quality of life is probably because we’ve reached Late Stage Neoliberal Capitalism.

      Lots of “sticking your head in the sand” comments lately. Do you not like to be reminded of reality?

        For some it’s doom and gloom for others it’s flourish and best times since forever. Such is life

        Ancient cycle of bad good bad good as old as history.

        Still, we are lucky to be born in first world countries, we probably share that in common, so our situation is from the start nicer than 80% of the world.

        I recently discovered I suffer a lot of victim mentality which constrained me and probably made me partly insufferable so maybe it is something that troubles you too or not
