Every day that monologue from the Matrix where Agent Smith compares Humanity to a Virus is more relevant.
Climate crisis is just the world having a fever, to kill us 🤒
I mean that kinda deflects from the fact that it is only a handful of big industries and our artificial "need" for infinite growth that not only kills us, but a majority of life. Meanwhile, best we can do is participate "critically". Thanks, i hate it.
Edit: I just checked and the 10 biggest oil and gas-companies have a market share of $3600 Billion. When have last talked about destroying these companies that have evidently fucked us hard. It honestly is a crime that no one shoots their CEOs on a daily bases.
Lots of viruses don't kill their host, and in return we dont try to eradicate those but they are casualties of an immune response, so the metaphor is still apt imo.
