Dude we only survive because we don’t look ahead. Imagine how bleak things would be if we couldn’t forget about the inevitable heat death of the universe, the sun expanding, and the thousand other inevitable world enders between here then then.
Now to drink so I can forget. 😅

That is 100,000,000,000 years from now. I’m talking about the next 100 years.

I didn’t explain well I feel.
Too much prescience causes anxiety which people shy away from. It takes maturity and courage to look at the future, particularly if it’s an inconvenient one. And yes, climate change is perfect example.

I think you are letting propaganda freak you out. Climate change isn’t going to kill us all tomorrow. Even if it becomes some how majority disastrous it is unlikely to wipe out all humans. We need to think about the future and get our heads out of the sand.
Just to be clear, you definitely shouldn’t be worrying about climate change or any other overly hyped up issue. Your life is short and all you can do is be the best person you can. If you care about the environment go do so.e good for the world. Don’t spend time worrying.
