I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but everything seems to be going down the tubes quite fast. And not fun tubes, like at a waterpark. The “ending in shit” kind. The issues are complicated, the reasons diverse, but there are a few culprits who have been making themselves extremely visible.

    I was sure it was just capitalism and greed for money and power all over again.

      it’s also attention seeking. there are billionaires you hardly ever see and then there’s the lizard, the cybertruck nerd and the pee guy.

    Everyone knows life on earth is going to end if we don’t stop emitting carbon

    This is not what the science claims at all.

      Yeah, it will just have huge impacts on mankind, the economy, wellbeing, and life itself. No biggie.

      Unimaginable human misery on the horizon and your response is to pull a “sorry your response must take a form of a question.”

      Yeah, it’s just going to suck for humans for a few million years, some endangered species are going to go extinct, but life will definitely continue.

        Nope, not like that either. The science shows it’s gonna destroy human habitats along the coastline, if no mitigating steps are taken such as they have been in the netherlands and new orleans (dikes to hold back rising sea levels).

        That’s about it for the negative effects.

        On the positive side, there’s going to be greater crop yield per acre, and fewer deaths from cold.

      My faith warns of the mark of the beast. Carbon Is the 666 atom which released from the ground heats the earth.
