Summary
By 2050, children worldwide will face more extreme heatwaves, floods, wildfires, droughts, and cyclones due to climate change.
The climate crisis will exacerbate health issues, disrupt education, and exacerbate existing inequalities.
Despite the urgent need for action, world leaders must prioritize climate commitments to protect children’s futures.

I’ve kind of accepted a while ago that we’re not doing that as a species. There’s far too much money interested in keeping the status quo. The second Trump presidency is just the nail in the coffin for me.
Realistically, a mass population cull would probably be humanity’s best chance of having a comfortably habitable planet. No way are we shifting our society with the current trajectory of things.
Gonna just try and enjoy my life responsibly while the world burns unless there’s a radical wave of collective action that promises to truly uproot things.
