You're literate, you can form complete sentences, most of you have a post secondary education. It's not news, you've had your whole life to figure this out. The debate was over a long time ago. The party is over, the balloons are all either popped or up in the ceiling. Time to put away your gazoo, and wash the make-up off. This is no time to be a clown.

No, that’s a scientifically accurate take. The actual science of climate change should not cause someone in America “existential fear” (not unless you already sit up worrying about floods in Bangladesh anyway).
The HN hive mind figured out how they wanted to the world to be when they were 13 and they haven't updated it since.

Climate Change. Renewable energy vs nuclear power. No we aren't all going to travel to other planets. You will never be a heroic figure. Women have their own opinions of things. Pandemic upends the daily routine. Car culture sucks and isn't sustainable.

None of those was part of The Plan and so the hive mind hates it.
