Scenario: you had time to avoid a head on car crash but now it's inevitable. You still have time to slow down enough to survive with moderate injuries. Soon it will be severe injuries at best, and eventually fatal without action.

Your children and grandchildren will see climate related mass migration and fight wars over clean water. If we don't do enough now, they'll just starve or choke to death instead, suffering greatly.

Naw it's too late already. Might as well enjoy life to its fullest while we can.

What a childish, selfish stance. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'm just going by what the experts say. You want someone to blame? Look at the boomers who fucked everyone over

And you refuse to correct course, so you're no better than them. You'd rather have fun in the sun and doom future generations rather than put effort in. You're failing the generational marshmallow test and you're mad at me for pointing that out.

I'm not mad at you at all bro. Take it easy
