I don’t think it’s crazy to understand that the cessation of seasons causes an inability to grow crops on a scale necessary to feed 8 billion people and that starving people will not just choose to die peacefully. Good luck.
I think a bunch of people are going to die, yes. I also think, like a lot of experts who have studied the issue, that action now will produce effective results from among some different possibilities, not all of which are extinction. There’s still a potentially drastic reduction in the level of horror that’s involved in the outcome, largely because the outcomes at the bad ends of the possibilities are so, so bad.
That’s why I use the example of the zombie movie. You’re trying to argue that because the situation is horrible (which, yes, it is), it’s okay to resign yourself and everyone else to an even more horrible future, and you’re actively trying to discourage people who are trying to at least do what they can. I think that’s a stupid and counterproductive thing to do.
You’re that one guy in the zombie movie that freaks out and winds up having to get tied up while talking crazy and begging to be let go again.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Good luck in life.
If you think we’re all going to die anyway, can I have your money and your things?
