Yeah, doomers usually are wrong. Going back to the teachers that tried to scare the crap out of me in middle school regarding global warming. Little did they know they were red pilling me.

It worked for a while on me(maybe a few years). I repeated the stuff to my dad. He asked me to tell his friends what they were telling me. I kinda laugh when I think about it now.

I believed the greenhouse gas anthropogenic warming story (and still don't think it's entirely wrong) but I was never convinced that it would be bad. That was the question no one ever answered to my satisfaction.

Yeah, I'm not fully convinced the actual science of what is happening is wrong.
  1. The predictions are nonsense. No one knows
  2. Most politicians screaming about it don't believe it either. If they did they'd live very different lives.
  3. I should try to live my life in a way that minimizes negative effects on the earth. Live in a way that is more in harmony with God's creation than one at war with it.
The predictions from the 90s I repeated are absurd and many thought they were absurd at the time. Same goes for what is being said today. We see the same stuff in bitcoin land. The US dollar is just about to collapse. No it isn't. Will it? Yeah, it will in time but no one really knows how long. Its easy to get ink when you say stuff like this.
For most of my life had a closed mind to environmentalism. This was because I was being reactionary to the Marxists that call themselves environmentalists. The answer to every problem is Marxism for them. Man is a poison on this planet to them. If I was a God hating atheist I would still reject this position. At worst man is just another species on this planet and he will eventually die off. But I don't believe that. As a Christian I believe man was given stewardship of this world and we've allowed Satan to really mess with our minds.
One can care about the earth and nature and at the same time not be a Marxist. Learning about permaculture really opened my eyes to the fact I'd allowed my mind to be clouded by politics. I now reject being a reactionary in anything. Today I seek to understand before I decide I'm against something just because of how is proposing it.
