the point you're missing is that corporations and governments are not going to change their behavior substantially enough, soon enough, to make the difference
The point you're missing is that, even if this disastrous world ending climate change was actually going to happen in 2038 (which it isn't), lying to people over the
course of decades along side using panic to get people moving won't help anyone.

The best thing we can do is try to invest and look into innovative technologies to avoid increasing issues in the climate.

Not shut down our existing infrastructure, costing lives and livelyhoods of people worldwide.

it isn't, and it literally has never been, in the entire history of humanity. otherwise we would not be where we are
the only thing that is hopeless is stopping climate change. rip to humanity in general but we still got like 100 years that we can make better
concessions have always been given to retain power, this is only a win if you're the person/people in power who have kept people passive

edit: it is always nice to see people who have hope though

The notion of “freedom” was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief that one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy.

You heard it here first, Freedom is tribal.

do a quick google search of "freest country in the world" and see this:



now read:

isn't that something

freedom is more than just the ability to travel, probably things like size of middle class or free/cheap public services like healthcare or transportation are factored into that ranking

According to the 'rules', even if you're an NZ resident traveling from other parts of Australia to other parts of Australia there is no way to 'self isolate'. You literally cannot get into the country or travel throughout without being injected, even if it's against your own will.

That doesn't seem very free to me.
