Anyway, gotta get to the morning stand up, have a good one” not mentioning accellarating climate collapse, micro plastic pollution and the shifting baseline syndrome
Normal conversation
I work in ecology/climate and our conversations still go like this lol. Biggest difference is the weather small talk is usually appended with “…well you know…” in allusion to the ongoing collapse
