Thanks for that. Humans are too busy fighting wars and burning fossil fuels to remotely come near to the deadlines set by scientists.Which clearly means that humans are not worth saving in the first place.
Welcome to a world of storms, floods, heat, famine and hordes of immigrants. All created for you by humans, the cleverest species on the planet.Man is the only species endowed with the ability to choose good over evil, and I suppose the only species endowed with the ability to self-destruct. I don't know if the inability to avoid the latter reflects on intelligence.

Many other people would like to live peaceful lives and have families and save the planet.

This is typically, in my experience, this late-in-life bleakness that makes it dangerous to have too many 70 plus people in charge of the world. It's what made the Soviet gerontocracy so dangerous.

Good point, together with other points you make.

And even then Weltschmerz isn't bleak and cynical, it's romantic and sad-longing.

Well, we forgot that Frank is the great humorist of this ng.
He only posts things as a joke.

Good point, together with other points you make. The demand for action on climate change seems to be most centred on the younger people who will be most affected and who have the energy to take action.
I don't agree that it's a question of "choosing good over evil". Humans are far more complicated than that psychologically. And additionally its a moralistic and typically monotheist way of >thinking.
You wouldn't recognize humor if it came with a sign.

"Impoverished lifestyle". Is there a context wherein this could have a positive connotation?

HenkYou mean you wouldn't wish "an impoverished life style" on the human race for the next generation or two to avoid mass extinction?

Weather experts are predicting El Nino this year. That could last for a few years and would push the temperature up even more. Usual problems - heatwaves, crops failing, famines, storms and flooding etc etc.
Doesn't look good, but then nothing does at this stage.
