Football players have crossed the limits of what they can handle. We can see that because we watch them play.

The planet has also crossed the limits of what it can handle, but most people are trying to ignore it, and keep eating meat when they like, flying when they like, and consuming as much as they like.

Climate change pollution keeps rising, every year, despite all the green energy infrastructure that’s been built. People don’t see the collapse of our survivable environment, like they see footballers collapsing because they’ve been overplayed.

Like with Qatar and the Saudis taking over the World Cup, the next COP talks on how to deal with climate change have been taken over by the USE so that they can make sure we aren’t doing what we need to do and deal with their business model.

Thought I’d remind everyone that a more important situation is also passing what it can handle. If we don’t reduce consumption seriously, now, all the scientists are saying we face disaster.

If we don’t stop being ‘entertained’ by the expansion of consumption created by the money spent by oil states, we will be living on a planet that we can’t survive on.

Hope that’s explained it to you.

You're way to pesismistic. Europe is geographically the least affected area by climate change. Its also the place reducing emissions the most. Ironically funded by european tax, which football contributes to.

Go speak to the rest of the world and not on a european football competition post. Because they are the ones that will suffer, and we're the ones reducing emissions.

we will be living on a planet that we can’t survive on.

Not true in the slightest. Humans have suffered through far more dramatic climate shifts than even worst case models - whilst being significantly less technologically able. There is 0 risk we cannot survive on this planet in europe.

Now go back to watching football, might cheer you up. No point being depressed.
