Can't wait for us to continue to do nothing about it.

Here in the USA if the GOP take power again we will do more than nothing, but it won't be good for the environment.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah I guess the only difference is y'all won't try to greenwash it.

[–] AncillaryJustice@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There is actually a lot being done about it, just not enough.

Humanity had a good run. I hope the next Apex species takes better care of the planet than we did. We should start carving warnings into rocks.

Why dont rich people care? They can't spend their money when humanity is all dead.

Ny rich people i mean those in power a d the owners or corporations that have power and influence.

Its nuts

Humanity won’t all die. The vast majority might, and all the rich have to do is make sure they’re among the survivors, in a situation where they’re still on top of the remaining society.

Who will repair and build their new super yachts?

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When a hundred million humans survive but only a few thousand are super rich, there’ll still be plenty of people to abuse.

They would need to "noahs ark" enough people with the skills required to keep them rich. And at that point i dont think the remaining slaves would have as hard a time rebelling.

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

They’ll manage. The most important task in Noah’s arc is loyal security. This has been practiced for centuries if not millennia. If a rebellions is successful it makes it into the history books, such a rare event it is.

They're delusional and think they'll be on mars by then
