    Spoiler alert: a lot more penguins are gonna die (and other wildlife, and people) before large swathes of governments and the public get on board.

    A recent climate Scientist who testified in front of congress in 1988 on the topic of global warming, said that it’s unfortunate that humanity has got to taste it first before they spit it out

      Its insane, a gut punch to the soul, I have no words for the idiocy and malice unfolding before my eyes. Every day I grow more and more restless, like a frog that is aware the water will boil.

          The economy will be great again because some dumb country will sure to wage war for resources eventually in a selfish attempt to make things better for themselves short term while making everyone including themselves die even faster. And we all know how much America loves taking advantage of war to sell weapons!

      Humanity collectively needs to touch to stove to realize it’s hot.

      Humanity collectively is fucking stupid.

      If only that were true.

      We’ve been tasting it, I don’t think we’ll properly spit it out before we deep throat the goddamn thing. Undoubtedly we will choke and die on it. Absolutely pathetic

      Yep, as long as humans aren’t dying, governments won’t care enough.
