I no longer worry. I'm extremely pessimistic about the impending climate change. I believe Sabine isn't pessimistic enough about what to anticipate. Consider the tundra methane emissions and the explosive release of methane-hydrates from the oceans, along with water vapor, a potent greenhouse gas. The disaster looming over all ecosystems (a mass extinction event) that will happen in decades and the doom-phase could last for 200,000 years. The chances of humanity surviving are incredibly slim, IMO. We can't colonize Greenland or Antarctica due to the lack of fertile soil, and it would take thousands of years to develop it. Without saying so, we don't have this amount of time.

I am glad that I survived oil outage, sour rain, the Ozone hole, mass famine because of overpopulation. All in a lifetime. I must have had sheer luck.

Recently I survived covid exponential deaths apocalypse and Al Gore's sea levels rising in 2016.

Covid was no joke, 3 million people died despite the entire world grinding to a halt and hiding in their houses for months. Sea levels are up 10 cm since Gore was VP and it's accelerating.

25 mln of excess death.

Where did you get that number? I initially just looked up WHO's estimate which turns out quite the lowball compared to what everyone else is listing, but most sources I can find seem to say something around 5-9M. I suppose it most depends on just how much China is fudging their numbers since they had the most people exposed at the worst time.

right here: 15 mln between 2020 and 2022 (https://www.who.int/data/stories/global-excess-deaths-associ...). For better, more up to date data check analysises by Ariel Karlinsky and The Economist.
