I THINK I can say this is the most I've ever smiled about the doom of the world : ) Just checked- Ikea's ready-to-assemble nuclear bunkers are on back order. I'm on the list. Laughed out loud at the boomers' bit of cholesterol and all caps FB gardening convos- "I'd say they've made it." HA. Nice to meet you via Substack Loudt.
Rest assured; I'm thinking spirit animal thoughts. But I have to work hard today to become a best-selling novelist before the world catches fire or I get passed over by a robot writer in the query trenches or I eat recalled spinach and die of dysentery. You understand.
At the same time, the US has no greenhouse emissions taxes.
But SUUUURE, let's just stop worrying. Let all polar species get replaced with tropical ones, and let the tropics become barren scorched desert. Another PETM is not as bad as we think, no.
In seriousness: don't obsess over it, but do what is within your influence to steer towards a better future.

You can die from spinach? Damn I new eating my veggies would be the end of me
Right? If I'm going to die from food, I'd rather go out in a blaze of jelly donuts or coconut shrimp. Something with style.
My dad used to tell my sister, “99% of the things you worry about will never happen.” My sister responded, “I know. That’s why I worry.”
That 1% can be an absolute bummer I agree
> one thing is for certain — we don’t live in a world as dark as our worst fears.
At least until 2020, emissions have matched the worst case scenario analyzed by IPCC: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2007117117
At the same time, the US has no greenhouse emissions taxes.

Trust me friend if chronic worrying did anything at all to stop those greenhouse emissions I'd be in line to get the cold sweats and chest pains.
Maybe not *first* in line, but you know, in the general vicinity
