This is not fine

My comrade in crisis, we can't even all agree that there is a fire.
- The rest of us will do what we can. Maybe others will join, maybe not. Onwards we go.
We didn't start the fire.
- While assigning fault for who started the fire is important, maybe we can do that once we're not burning to death?
- We didn't light it but we try to fight it
- Let the whole world know, that I'm a big ole asshole.
- That's that song about the "Space Monkey Mafia" isn't it.
  NASA's biggest cover-up.
- I'm tired of arson, fuck the fire department!
That's what they all said before. And that's what they will all say again.
- I thought they would say there is no fire.

Yes, this is from KC Green, author of the original This Is Fine.

The last two panels always break my heart. I wish I could give him a hug.

I wish I could give almost everyone a hug. Even me.

It's important to recognize that blame/circumstances are not isolated. Some variables may be within one's influence, but not ever fully in control. Seeing that there are concerns is a useful step, but understandably more difficult to take appropriate, if any, action. Asking for help is not a weakness.

Now, if we're talking about society at large, that's their damned fault.

Looks like a regular day living with ADHD, honestly

He could have put that fire out tomorrow.
- The deadline to putting out that fire is 12am, if he starts at 11pm he should be fine

Sobering up is going from minor heaven to minor hell, so you can start approaching major heaven instead of major hell.

I was wondering why this post resonated with me so much and you're 100% correct. It reminds me of sobering up

This is what I expect humanity's response to climate change to be eventually. Only the last two images mean it's too late and we all die. The end.

No no, only the poorest 90% will die. Everyone else will pretend they were one of the good ones afterwards and carry on.
- There is zero reason to think 90% of people are going to die as a result of climate change.
  The status of climate change claims is essentially:
  Average temperature is going up: definitely true
  CO2 levels are going up: definitely true
  The CO2 increases are the cause of the temperature increase: probably, but conflicts with previous periods in geological history of higher CO2 and lower temps, or vice-versa
  This is caused by humans: maybe
  This will cause problems for humanity: definitely
  This will cause existential threat to humanity: almost definitely not true
  This will cause benefits to humanity: definitely true
  The notion that climate change is going to kill us all is simply false. It’s not what science indicates.
