Not depressed.
Just pragmatic. I'll be long gone before the shit hits the fan (hopefully). Safe in the knowledge I haven't spawned any offspring to suffer it.
Anyway, I highly doubt its climate change that'll do us in. Its far more likely to be a pandemic, the singularity, or a war for natural resources.

pretty dark take
I'm with you on the no kids, but I intend to also leave a slightly less... "fuck you, future", legacy.
imo focusing on potential annihilation is anything but pragmatic, focusing on avoid it would the sensible approach.

Anthropocentric environmentalism doesn't appeal to me either
but as climate change is linked to biodiversity loss and human overpopulation, what Greta is doing can't be a bad thing. And I don't get the impression she was groomed by pushy parents.
