Last month was the second hottest March on record for the globe, and it could be a sign that 2023 will become one of the warmest years we've ever seen.
It’s not even economies that get me. It’s outright catastrophes. In 2010, forest fires in Russia had gotten so bad, entire cities were covered in thick smoke. I still remember being able to look directly at the sun, just a shiny red disk. And most of the fires were hundreds of kilometres away!
Floods, hurricanes. How disaster-proof are our towns and cities? And solving all that would very likely require a conscious and concerted worldwide effort. Something that I doubt could be achieved without a worldwide socialist revolution - something that doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon. And by the time it happens - if it happens - it just might be too late.

Like I said, great filter.
Yeah, I agree with all that. We’re driving ourselves to extinction here.
