My chosen apocalypse of personal belief is that of climate change. Even if we create a general peace on earth, do every single thing right regarding climate change, at this point, we’re likely to only skirt absolute disaster. Some countries won’t even admit it’s a problem, much less take action to prevent it.
Climate change is not one of the things I see getting better. The only people who care about changing seem to be the people who don’t contribute much in the first place. The largest polluters are still polluting more and more.
Climate change is not one of the things I see getting better.
Then it’s hard to be optimistic about the future - if we don’t make a drastic alteration to energy then we are heading for rises in temperature that are going to make some parts of the planet inhabitable,. leading to water wars and huge displaced populations moving north. This will play into the hands of right wing populists and the political system will be under the kind of strain we haven’t seen in a century. That’s for as long as we can keep what might still pass for civilisation limping along.
