      To be fair, so has science. Which also to be fair is because of real life evidence, not whatever passes for evidence to the religious.

      Also it depends on the conspiracy

      “Climate issues won’t end humanity, X will instead”

      I don’t think there are many people who are simply content with the world. Being content might actually be better

        “Climate issues won’t end humanity, X will instead”

        Or even

        “Climate issues will end humanity”

        That just sounds like the 21st century version of “memento mori”. We’ve decided a long time ago that that was not a good credo. So, I like to live by “we’re not dead yet”. The odds were against humanity existing at all, but we’re here anyways. So no matter the odds, there’s always a chance we’ll continue existing.

          I’m not a huge fan of this attitude. It’s the same attitude people have when they say “THE EARTH WILL BE FINE WEATHER WE ARE HERE OR NOT” or “HUMANITY WILL SURVIVE CLIMATE CHANGE”

          Like yeah, in all likelyhood it’s not going to be the end of humanity. But that’s not the issue and never has been, it’s making the world shitty for humans to live on, it’s causing untold suffering from famine and wars and drowning and weather disasters and that’s what the urgency is about. THATS what people who care about climate change want to prevent.
