    Climate doomerism is funded by big oil using the same people that did positive smoking PR for tobacco lobbiests. The problem is it makes most people throw up their hands and continue as is because they feel like they can’t change anything.

      I may just be speaking for myself. But as a doomer, it motivates me. It may not for others. Most doomers I talk to have one goal- make fossil fuel companies pay. I find that inspiring. I believe collapse of society is inevitable due to capitalism and climate. More like a crumbling. It’s already started.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more…
