    Curious because as gen z the climate change end of the world has been moving back consistently for me until about covid. My first memories was 2010 then it got pushed to 2012 then 2016, 2018, 2025, 2030, to 2040 and last I heard right before covid it back down to 2035. Could just be I was surrounded by propaganda though.

      You’re looking at cultural hysteria 'end if the world’s, not the very real oncoming collapse of our biosphere.

      Nutters always think the world is ending, and they e always got to push it back when their mental illness doesn’t come through.

      But in this case, we have models that, as they are refined, show us just how hopeful the previous “worst case” projections were.

      Idk what you are referring to but maybe it is the point of no return that people have been talking about? Like we have until such time to act? But they also were trying to stay below 1.5°C but now it’s a pretty foregone conclusion that we will hit that this century. So now it’s 2°C.
