Nobody is saying anything about ending humanity. It's these kind of exaggerations that misrepresent climate change. Take a look at this graph:
These are the places that are going to suffer most. And it will lead to drought and increases in deiseases etc, which will no doubt leave people knocking on our door. Seeing as they're the ones that will suffer, I guess we should just wait for the Indians and Africans to fix the issue eh. I mean, they shouldn't have been booking all those flights, driving all those hummers and burning all that coal!
But govt should make your balanced budget boo boo go away??? The govt aren't our mommies and daddies. They're us. Colleagues, friends, relatives etc. There isn't much of a profit motive in preventing climate change, so the govt are simply the best positioned people to begin tackling climate change. Much like they're the best positioned people to balance the budget.
Lol you don't have to give me all the nihilistic platitudes about the universe and whatever. I came to the realization a long time ago that the universe doesn't care about us. That's precisely why
I care and why
people care.
