A growing body of scientific evidence now suggests that, due to rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emission levels in the atmosphere, the world is on track to overshoot the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C target within the next three years, pushing the planet beyond a critical threshold faster than previously feared.
The dire warning comes from the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming, led by a group of international researchers and published in Earth System Science Data earlier this month. The report was signed by over 60 scientists across 17 countries.
Every day I feel my anxiety building as we get closer to ocean current collapse. People have no clue how close we are to ‘irreparably fucked.’
My solution has been to spend time getting my gear in order, learning practical skills, and perhaps developing a spiritual practice such as meditation.
You should include building community. Regardless of the narrative driven by the cult of individualism, no man is an island.
I’ve tried and tried and tried, turns out the vast majority of people, including ones who theoretically would be into this, are beat down & atomized to the point where their primary goal in life is to not have to adjust their personal trajectory in any way, shape, or form, until they absolutely fucking have to on pain of death. 🤷
and then the ones who are actually into realistic prepping and want to work with others are batshit fucking crazy, but I think that might have something to do with my sample size of n=1 after trying to collaborate on shit like this for over a decade.
edit: it also doesn’t help that I’m autistic with a literal night watchman / jumpy cat phenotype, and have been unable to access sufficient solitude to function for nearly a decade, so I myself am sufficiently beat down & atomized that developing community comes lower in my priority queue than getting access to any precious scrap of solitude I can, in a constant losing battle to meet my basic sensory needs 🤷
