        Not slightly. We’re already having problems with food and water in even “first world” countries… Just little hiccups before a true systematic failure

        The disasters will get worse and way more common, but those aren’t where the true horrors will be. It’ll be the disease, conflict, and mass starvation

        We could certainly overcome it. Humans are very adaptable… But it’s already starting, and we aren’t doing anything. We can’t even organize enough to agree we should do anything at all to save ourselves

        So things will get horrific. It could take billions of dead to figure out a new way to live at this rate. Every lesson will be learned though desperation. And then one day, we’d reach that new worse normal

        But if we got our act together and started actually preparing, it wouldn’t be bad. Scary and hard, but we’d get hope back. We’d regain connection to each other, and be united against an outside enemy. We’d share a dream of bringing the green back. We

        We could come together pretty quickly once we accepted the necessary sacrifice of the old ways of living… But each day it progresses and we do nothing. It’s depressing and terrifying, but the truth can’t be ignored anymore

            Alright, well, I just thought the “6 years” thing sounded so specific is all. Why not 5, or 10. Something round. 😅 So I thought there was something specific happening in 6.

              Idk, gotta ask OP. But six years ago was 2020, a round year, another “warmest year since recording” that seems kinda chill from today’s perspective. Though this is yet another made up explanation after the fact.

      Dunno. But it won’t be pretty. Unless it involves the rich subsidizing the wellbeing of the bottom 99%. In other words, it definitely won’t be pretty…
