What are you talking about? Where did I make an end of the world prediction? It is you who brought that up. Of course nothing is going to end. Nice strawman. You even try to bring COVID into the discussion? What are you doing, and why?
> I look at that data and I think to myself, in a few decades we will have problems, many indirectly from more and more troubled nations who will bear the brunt of the climate change, that that silly little piece of software I write seems meaningless if I start thinking about the bigger picture.
If anything, you're the one creating a strawman out of GP's attempt to get you out of the slump.
Do you think Jeff Zucker ran CNN so as to maximize profit?
Looks like obvious agenda. People slowly realise it and will stand against it. Enough is enough.
What do you think I refer to by "end of the world"? Don't you think I refer to this part of your comment?

Don't you think that I refer to the numerous comments seen on HN whenever this topic comes up, from people saying that they're expecting massive global upheaval in a few years, that they're not having children because they think society will collapse?

Do you not see a parallel between the way the media has stirred panic about global warming^W^Wclimate change^Wcrisis for decades, and the way the media has stirred panic about COVID for the last two years?
> What are you doing, and why?
I would ask you the same.
