Remember that global warming is not real. If it is real, then we don't know what is causing it. If we do know what is causing, it is not humans. If we do know it is humans causing it, then there is nothing we can do about it. If there is something we can do about it, it's not worth it, think of the jobs.

I believe in climate change, the evidence is there when looking at the earth’s geographical shifts in time.

The question I pose to people which sometimes is misinterpreted is this: What will we do in order to survive climate change? All we hear is how to consume “greener” products.

Where’s the plan for major city relocation, new technologies, etc?

There isn't one. It's far cheaper to depopulate the earth.

"Humans didn't cause it so it's not our problem" has gotta be the weirdest take. No... it's definitely a problem either way.

Same thing with covid. "The China Virus is sent from China so we shouldn't have to deal with it because it's not our fault". Oh, had the virus arisen naturally in the US, we could fight it, but because it's (supposedly) an act of Chinese biological warfare, we should just take it lying down?

I don't get people.

Scared people flip to angry people. Leaders want to give people something/someone to be angry at that isn't them.

People were actually saying we shouldn't have to deal with covid because it came from China? In what world does that make the tiniest lick of sense?

I've never heard this argument and I'm around a lot of people who believe it came from China. This feels like a strawman.

Think of the children.

Rock, paper, scissors, jobs, children. I beat you.

You forgot: "It's too late anyway."
