To watch climate change is to know what the deer in the headlights must feel.

Powerless to change alter fate and prevent our death, while being forced to watch it's screeching approach.

We’re witnessing the birth of the new pasture lands the deer will graze on after humanity has been roasted off the planet.

Think positive

You're conveniently failing to mention the millions of people who will suffer and die with no fault of their own. This is not positive thinking, it's privilege and ignorace.

I didn’t conveniently fail to mention shit. I hate people and look forward to a lot of us dying from our own ecological mismanagement.

Tell that to younger generations in developing countries - they have done nothing wrong and will suffer because of other's actions. It's debatable how much people like you and me - provided you are someone selling labor and consuming averagely living in a developed country like me - can do compared to highly emitting upper-class people, but we certainly can't just accept the consequences of climate change like it only affects us or we are the judges of letting it doom those least responsible but most affected.
