Alright, so we pump energy into a chaotic system and obviously the extremes will get more exteme. Stronger hurricanse, colder hurricanse and snap freezes, deeper floods, wet bulb events further north than you think possible, whatever. This is the known unknown.

I am existentially afraid of the unknown unknowns. At what point do the phytoplankton I'm currently breathing the poop of have a mass extinction event? All of human civilization is about to drown on dry land and I spend 5 days a week maintaining software that charges people for turning on their lights.

I crave death I crave oblivion death to america death to capitalism death to me.

The worry is the motivation for all my irl activities

odd, for me anyway, as worry just contributes to anxiety and thus paralysis.

For me excessive worry and doomerism were symptoms of depression. Once i got on meds, i can still look at the realities of the world, be against them, be radical, etc but it doesn’t cause me to feel so hopeless that i don’t leave my room for 3 weeks at a time anymore. And yeah maybe that is numbing out the true scale of how wet should be feeling about the horrors all around us, but it’s nice to have my life and ability to function back.

So if that’s what’s driving your feelings, you should do something about it medically: therapy, pills, etc.

But if it’s not depression’s manifestations, just know that the future is unwritten and really interesting things could always be on the horizon that change everything. But if not at least we can say “We told you so” i guess lol.
