Climate change will push humanity to develop technologies in a range of disciplines that will ultimately propel us to new heights as a species. The world needs a good crisis to progress us and covid wasn't it.
Imagine the innovations in areas ranging from genetically engineered food to material science to military weaponry. Climate change will force humanity into a new renaissance.
There are actual retards out there who think that in 50 years the earth will be mostly inhabitable and the population will be sub 1 bill. Thankfully these people are the ones choosing not to have kids, not that they could afford them anyway.
I look forward to climate change. I made decent money hacking together a fear-mongering/greta worshipping climate change alarmist website.
Thank you climate change.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

Suppose the system survives the crisis of the next several decades. By that time it will have to have solved, or at least brought under control, the principal problems that confront it, in particular that of “socializing” human beings; that is, making people sufficiently docile so that heir behavior no longer threatens the system. That being accomplished, it does not appear that there would be any further obstacle to the development of technology, and it would presumably advance toward its logical conclusion, which is complete control over everything on Earth, including human beings and all other important organisms. The system may become a unitary, monolithic organization, or it may be more or less fragmented and consist of a number of organizations coexisting in a relationship that includes elements of both cooperation and competition, just as today the government, the corporations and other large organizations both cooperate and compete with one another. Human freedom mostly will have vanished, because individuals and small groups will be impotent vis-a-vis large organizations armed with supertechnology and an arsenal of advanced psychological and biological tools for manipulating human beings, besides instruments of surveillance and physical coercion. Only a small number of people will have any real power, and even these probably will have only very limited freedom, because their behavior too will be regulated; just as today our politicians and corporation executives can retain their positions of power only as long as their behavior remains within certain fairly narrow limits.

It's already caused me to have adult-onset eczema because it's too warm now. I can't live like this.

Climate change doesn't bother me that much. It's always sad to me when changing conditions facilitates the extinction of particular species because I love animals and plants so much...except humans...but, alas, that is the way of the world. Change is inevitable. And whether it's For Better or For Worse is all in the eye of the beholder.

Polar bears probably do not think that climate change is a good thing.

It's a fool's errand. A world of hurt is paved with good intentions. For one thing, there are no gold standard studies whatsoever on the genetic engineering of food. Without proper safety testing for each and every alteration, the potential for harm skyrockets. For another thing, the infrastructure doesn't currently exist for any other energy sources than those already in place. Only a fool would put the cart before the horse.

People should be fed to the polar bears.

Getting eaten alive by a bear is supposedly an exhilarating experience.

Now I see why you prefer copypasta, you ran out of paragraphs and can't afford to replace your supply.

You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

If it involves critical thinking, he has nothing to type.

Conservatives’ efforts to decrease the amount of government regulation are of little benefit to the average man. For one thing, only a fraction of the regulations can be eliminated because most regulations are necessary. For another thing, most of the deregulation affects business rather than the average individual, so that its main effect is to take power from the government and give it to private corporations. What this means for the average man is that government interference in his life is replaced by interference from big corporations, which may be permitted, for example, to dump more chemicals that get into his water supply and give him cancer. The conservatives are just taking the average man for a sucker, exploiting his resentment of Big Government to promote the power of Big Business.
