Some of us have a response that is often conflated with denial: I call it avoidance, meaning you don’t think about it. If you ask most people if they believe there are children starving in the world, they will acknowledge it. They don’t deny it, they just avoid thinking about it. I used to have a crippling over-awareness of suffering in the world, and have had to train myself (with help) to cut off a train of thought before it spirals into despair. It sounds like a joke, but I really do resort to “in a hundred/thousand/million years, that won’t matter” sort of thinking, or pulling my perspective away to encompass the whole galaxy. I make a bargain with myself that if I set up something practical to deal with it (like donating to a charity or making a lifestyle change), it’s OK for me to not dwell on it.
Still, that image of the man saving the rabbit always brings tears.
Despite our massive economic prosperity over the past 200 years or so, human life has always been hard and unfair. Do not get overwhelmed. Do what you can to take care of yourself first, then your family, then your neighbors, then humanity generally. Baby steps. Solve big problems by breaking them down into small (thus manageable) problems.
What nonsense. AGW is completely non-scientific: 1) never been experimentally demonstrated (thus in violation of the scientific method which requires experiment to be science); and 2) violation of causality itself as the warming precedes the rise in CO2 in both the paleo and modern record (causes do not happen after effects, do they?); 3) such warming (which has been in fits and starts) can be explained by a combination of ocean currents, changes in albedo (clouds), and changes in insolation.
It’s all a hoax. Worse: there’s nothing we can do about it, yet we’re committed to wasting $275T by 2050 (according to a 2022 McKinsey study) in a feckless attempt to control the temperature using renewables which put our energy security into the hands of our main 21st century enemy (China) using slave labor and child labor tearing up the environment to mine minerals in far away places to the disadvantage of black and brown people out of sight and out of mind.
Go away.
The truth hurts, don’t it though?
Inevitably, the automatons get more sophisticated …
No they don’t. Americans seem to get dumber and dumber. I blame the colleges which have become a variety of institutional child abuse.
Nobody cares what you think, as you are a pompous moronic troll. Go away.
There are about 8B people on Earth. How many have you surveyed? It doesn’t matter. Facts speak for my position. Blowing hard seems to be your approach.
Well, if you’re not an increasingly sophisticated automaton, you’re just a troll … dismissed out of hand
“Dismissed out of hand.” …. what a compelling argument.
