Our chances of surviving are almost non existent with current capitalism, probably 90% of life on Earth will die. If these bastards start a war there’s going to be nuclear warfare, that would be a death sentence to us. I’m depressed.

    I’m confused. Wouldn’t it (temporarily) induce a nuclear winter (assuming nuclear weapons are used), giving us a little bit more time (and bunches of dead people from crop failures due to the drastic reduction of temperatures)? I could see it becoming a problem by more resources getting invested in the war effort rather than in the fight against the climate.

    That sentence seems self contradictory. You first say we will not survive and then say 90% will die. 100% isn’t equal to 90%. Maybe I’m misinterpreting it and you mean it is unlikely we will be one of the 10% who survive. Also, why would only 90% of people die? Positive feedback loops will cause the extinction of all life on earth, not just a great majority of the population.

    (not saying that AUKUS war is good, just confused by the fact that the concern is that the climate crisis would get worse)

      I don’t know about the nuclear winter, didn’t even knew that existed. I just thought about green life dying because of it.

      What I tried to say in that other sentence was that we’re pretty fucked up, I didn’t try to be accurate, I just used 90% as a way to say we’re probably going to die.
