Summary
Amid record global heat and worsening climate disasters, 2024’s elections worldwide have highlighted declining political commitment to addressing the climate crisis.
Right-wing victories, including Trump’s U.S. win and climate-skeptic gains in Europe, have sidelined climate action, prioritizing inflation and energy costs instead.
The troubled Cop29 summit in Azerbaijan, marked by stalled emissions cuts and defiant pro-fossil fuel rhetoric, reflects this shift.
While some countries, like the UK, advanced climate agendas, overall momentum is fading, leaving activists and scientists alarmed as time to prevent catastrophic warming runs out.
Humans, once again, choose extinction because we’re fucking monkeys in pants flinging shit at each other.
Honestly, if the majority of us are really this fuckstupid, maybe it’s genuinely deserved.
Yeah, I’m losing interest in humans as well. They’re idiots and they chose their path. Let’s wait and see what’s next.

If we had achieved carcinization by now we wouldn’t have any of these problems — we’d be locking pincers in friendship, skittering sideways across a utopic planet. Alas.
If octopuses lived longer than four years they would have done a better job.
And also were social. One of the things holding them back is despite their intelligence, they are solitary creatures, so they don’t work together to accomplish more than they can alone.
That’s a good observation, but I think it would also be overcome with a lifespan closer to human.
I’ve gone all in on Raccoons. They’re my bet for next on the evolutionary trial once we’re out of the way.
I guess I’ve kind of got to root for deer.
Earth: You chose this path, now I have a surprise for you
Is it a surprised Pikachu?
