Really tired of this response. It’s old. like, 80’s old. It was funny at first.
Cool story. Doesn’t make it any less true. And the reason why people keep saying it is because they are equally tired of the “OMG the planet is dying and we are destroying all life” chorus. We know. We don’t need more “awareness” raised for this problem, we need viable solutions. Ones that take the general population’s propensity for shitty behavior into account.
So you want people to shut up about it so we can ignore it? Do you think the oil industry stopped their propaganda machine? The current president publicly claims climate change isn’t real ffs.
If you actually consciously posted that because you’re tired of the “our planet is dying” crowd, you are actually a legit mouthpiece spreading oil propoganda. Just wow.
Your reading comprehension sucks. I said give me solutions. It’s kind of hard to want solutions if you think there’s no problem.
And what the US president says has no bearing on this. The rest of the world already knows he’s a malicious actor; we’re just waiting for the Americans to get off their asses and do something about him.
Doesn’t make it any less true.
What is “it” and what is “true”? Besides some of the biggest concepts the human mind can concieve. Okay, no, fine, let’s just put it in dead simple terms: human life will end in preventable, miserable horror and animal life will do the same, but rocks and amoebas may survive and barf out some other complex life forms someday.
I guess we’ll never know because we won’t be here but also the idea that that happens at all is just the best guess we’ve all agreed to for now. Maybe it’s true, maybe not. Ha ha ha. Pithy!
We don’t need more “awareness” raised for this problem, we need viable solutions. Ones that take the general population’s propensity for shitty behavior into account.
So we’re all “aware” huh. That doesn’t track with what I’m seeing but if you say so. And we already have the solutions, as you know. Have had since the 80s, ironically(?). “The population”'s propensity for shitty behavior notwithstanding.
If your solutions that you’ve had since the 80’s don’t account for people’s behavior, then you don’t actually have a solution.
It’s like the old joke with school physics problems always starting with “ignoring forces of friction and assuming a point mass…”. Yeah you can do that math and come up with an answer, but if you try to apply that answer to real life, it will likely not even come close to working.
