Been high nonstop for years. I realize it's bad for my health. But at least being high feels good.

My future is on a planet becoming increasingly unhabitable, under a government becoming increasingly fascist, doing nothing but working and still not being able to afford rent or food, never traveling, never making real friends much less finding a life partner, water quickly becoming a luxury, and with zero chance of ever retiring.

So why even bother?

Wait, you’re saying we shoulda kept some of the ozone hole around?

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Kind of.

It should have been addressed and will still be around for decades despite healing, and it is a poster case for "see silly humans, you can mend your ways."

But there is also a cooling effect to a giant hole opposite to the effect of CO2 and improving the ozone may have slightly worsened the speed of warming as a result.
