    The earth’s climate is always changing though. We’ll adapt just like we always have.

      Get out of here with this nonsense. In the most literal sense, yes, the climate is always shifting. But this is such a bad faith thing to say. We know humans are having a negative impact, and we know more clearly the systems in place that are driving us off a cliff for profit. Acting like nothing is wrong is at best stupidly naive, and at worst astonishingly malicious.

        That one always bugged me because I like the climate as-is (without any more species going extinct, or crazier weather or flooding, new blights, etc)

        Life is the ultimate virus to the environment of earth. The earth would be massively different with no life on it at all.

      If by adapt you mean face a mass migration event like we’ve never seen before, see people starve because the places where we were growing our food are now inhabitable, see towns burn because of forest fires the size of which we can’t imagine, get stuck going outside less and less as temperatures are always turned to 11 either cold or hot…

      Sure… We’ll adapt. How many of us will there be left when things starts settling?

        Also it’s super unhinged that you’d go stalk someone’s profile just because you disagree with them. Thanks for the laugh loser.

      Sometimes it’s good to do things that make the world a more livable place.

      Like taking a shower even though our skin is always getting dirty and we can adapt to being dirty.
