How was my comment related to suicide? I was talking about the process that will take place - and since it will - then at THAT time it still shouldn't be painful.
Life might or might not go on, but I don't see any reason to make our lives more miserable just to make sure even more people can experience those miserable lives. That's why I don't care about preserving resources or living conditions for "future generations".
Thinking that reducing living standards to more ecosphere-compatible levels (at current technological sophistication no less) would result in "miserable lives" is an unfortunate consequence of the consumerist programming of the late 20th century.
We're consuming a lot of pointless shit that could be cut without much consequence. Stop ads and you will find out what some of that is.
Another big problem being throwaway culture. Even in 2024 people still change smartphones like their underwear (I mostly see this with Android users though, not that I'm surprised).
The thing is that this reduction negatively impacts especially the poor. The rich will consume less pointless shit, but for the poor it means things like not being able to heat their house, not being able to have a car (since they can't afford the new, "eco friendly" one). That's why they rightfully revolt against.. or maybe that's WHAT they revolt against.
I use LineageOS on my phone, thanks to this I have an up-to-date system with security patches. Oh, and of course a shiny warning about the unlocked bootloader...
Many people would prefer having a non-bloated phone that they don't have to replace very often. But those who make it as-hard-as-possible are the very same people who shout very loudly about the need to sacrifice in order to deal with climate change.
