Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?
Akrenion@slrpnk.net 1 week agoYou seem to have an inherent trust in scientific consensus. Some actors are also trying to weaken this and misinformation is rampant. Some figures seem to support far right ideas until they get put into perspective by people who are well informed on issues. These people rarely get enough funding, attention or time.
I think one of the most important ideas is to spend your attention on things that you can influence for the better. That often means struggling to accept that our impact is limited but worthwhile.

You don’t need to trust consensus to observe global average temperatures and infer that we’re in uncharted territory in regard to the climate.
