Thank you for a great article. I was fooled into thinking we were on the right track with Paris 2015 but the IPCC report of 2018 and then Dr. Bendell's paper and Rupert Reed's presentations opened my eyes circa 2019. Since then I've researched and read many papers, books and articles that have turned me into a doomer and me and my partner have started to plan our lives accordingly. One big first step was to sell our house in Florida and get out, North to be by the Great Lakes. Me who couldn't buy flowers have started to learn how to grow things. Next will be to buy a plot of land away from any large population centers.

Still, although it is depressing to be called a lunatic by our friends and family, it is absolutely depressing when it comes from (admittedly self-proclaimed ) scientists.

I recently had the post below removed from the "Scientist's Warning" Facebook page with the admonishment:

Group rules that were violated

1-Zero Tolerance for Spam, Fake News, ConspiraciesPromotions/sales, trolling, NTHE, doomism, denialism, pseudoscience, conspiracies, religious rhetoric, bunk science, and irrelevant tangents hyperfocusing on population, methane etc. will be removed.

my post was:

To be perfectly honest, the planet will save itself once it extinguishes us. What some courageous scientists are trying to save is the human as well as other species. What most people want to "save" is business-as-usual except a touch more "green".

Hyperfocusing indeed!

If there ever was proof that there really is nothing that can be done it is the fact that even the scientist warning us in this case is completely immersed in hope-mongering, denial and confirmation bias.
