Hey, something new!
Climate change costs lives by breaking down social connection, says study
Climate change is widely understood as an environmental and economic threat, but new research from the University of Sydney shows it is also a growing social crisis, weakening the relationships people rely on to survive.
Published in Nature Human Behaviour, the international study found climate change is eroding social connection at a time when those ties are most needed, creating a feedback loop where disruption to relationships reduces people’s ability to adapt and recover. (snip)
How climate change is breaking down social connection
The research draws together global evidence showing that climate pressures are reducing everyday opportunities to connect. Heat waves and air pollution are pushing people indoors and away from shared public spaces, while interruptions to school and work make it harder to maintain relationships.Evidence from China and Tuvalu shows these pressures can reduce social activity, increase depression, and in some cases lead people to withdraw from community life altogether.
OK, enough, this is all horsehit. Social media and over-reliance on staring at phones, spending way too much time gaming and doing TikTok videos, liberalism breaking the nuclear family, and tons of other things are considerably more to blame than a 1.7F increase in the temperature of the planet since 1850. F’ing cult.
Social bonding? Incells are blaming their lack of pair bonding on tiktok? The average age globally of tiktok user is 26yo close to the same age as a Crunch gym member

The modern world has become a f’ing cult of opinion. Science, fact, truth, evidence is so passé.
