Man, I'm so glad this global warming thing is leftist propaganda or I'd really be freaking out right now.

    Luckily, we can choose to reject reality and believe whatever makes us feel better.

    I feel best believing the biosphere is gonna force humanity to “find out” for the last century of fuckin around with a recklessly unplanned terraform.

    My uber driver said that global warming is actually true but have literally nothing about human influence.

    Some years ago these persons were saying that global warming was a hoax, now that only the human influence is a hoax.

    I always hated that argument from people.

    Even if they're right — which we all know they are not — it wouldn't matter. Climate change is going to devastate human life if we do nothing. If, somehow, the source of the warming wasn't human-caused, we'd still need to find a way to counteract it. It's not our fault doesn't prevent it from being our problem.

    "it has nothing to do with human influence"

    "Ok, then let's prepare for the inevitable, strengthen infrastructure, prepare for mass migrations, improve our crops to sustain bigger variances in weather, evacuate people from flood danger zones, ensure our supply chain doesn't collapse, fund poor countries so they can survive better, etc. You know, prepare for the crisis"

    Ahhh, yes. The conservative backpedalling.

    It's not happening. It's happening but it's all cyclical. It's not cyclical this time but it's not our fault. It's our fault but global warming is good ackshually. Global warming is bad but there's nothing we can do about it. We could do something about it but it's too expensive/late. Maybe it's not too expensive but THE CHINESE!

    In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

    In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.

    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Had a argument with a person on YouTube, he thought that increased CO2 in the atmosphere would be beneficial. It would help plants grow better!

    Also that humans was not behind it.

    What I hear some acquaintances say is like "who cares, I'll go to the beach, turn the AC on, what's the big deal" .

    As if the floods we had in Italy this year, or the wild fires, or the storms, or the draughts, or the Alps without snow, the glaciers disappeared, the sea turned green, the invasion of jellyfish weren't connected.

    Some people, most people, are just too fucking stupid.
