Apparently we're living during the 6th mass extinction. At the current rate of species loss we could end up with a kill count as bad as or worse than the great dying (the worst yet known mass extinction). The current rate of species loss is unprecedented apparently.Since industrialization began we've lost approx. 1-2% of species so far. However with the current rate of exponential change it's possible that we'll lose 25% of species by 2100.I don't really know what to do with myself since learning this. How am I supposed to deal with it mentally? Everything else seems so meaningless compared. It's like being there when the asteroid hit, except I'm realizing I'm 'part' of that asteroid.
Go to law school and become an environmental lawyer, or throw paint onto the glass case of the Mona Lisa.
Fortunately we know about it and are working to cut back on carbon emissions, we need China and India on board thoughAlso there is unfortunately nothing we can do about the microplastics that already exist and no one is doing anything to phase out disposable plastics which is as big a danger as climate change if not greater

>>32335431If you really think we're that screwed why not just kys>uohhh the world is overpopulated we're all gonna die of climate change because of humans!>ok why not kill yourself then, or even take some other people out with you?>n-no not me, I mean like, uh, other people!Can't believe people still swallow the same anti-human zog tripe that's been peddled since the 70s

Where do Pajeets fall into this equation?
>>32335431>How am I supposed to deal with it mentally?not much you can do really. doesn't help that half the country is unilaterally against anything pro-environment on culture war grounds
>>32335431by 2100 only the able will survive, not the industrialists, not the ghetto dweller, not the degenerate, only the willing and the smarter, these will not rely on most post industrial technology to survive, sure they won't represent as much of a threat to nature as we are todaydon't worry anon
>>32335431what can one do but strive to rise above their station and do things right? good luck & godspeed
