I mean yeah - but I do so less for their sake and more for the reason that we should have been responsible and not actively have caused that, you know? imho at least.

There have been mass extinction events many times on earth before, and there probably will be several more times yet again, until the sun dies out or perhaps the planet does prior to that. Perhaps humans will even be around to see the next one(s) too, if we happen to survive this one. That will not negate our responsibility here, but could be true regardless.

We can only control what is within our capability to control. i.e. we need to do the right thing - e.g. reduce our impact - but the actual result of our actions is beyond our control hence I choose not to "worry" about that part of the situation.

Stoicism.

The planet will survive. And there is even a chance that some remnant of humanity might as well - deservedly or no. It is mainly modern society that is done for, and I do not morn its loss.

The day I got my SporkRotator entirely changed my life forever...

I have heard it said that there is no spoon...

You have value. Thank you for existing.

Bots trained from bots, talking to bots, governed by THE ALGORITHM... surely this will end well.

Worse, you have to provide your own shit! 💩

At which point disinformation might be a better word for it.

Thank you for asking rather than just assuming something bad.

I was referring to the last paragraph of the OP, e.g. as exemplified by this, its first sentence:

Since China is unlikely to do any of those things, what should Canadians do?

I was assenting that indeed China "should" have done many things, but since it won't, it falls to Canada to not be sucked in by the false rhetoric.

Hold fast to truth, or else suffer the consequences of not doing so.
