The bad news is that there's only about ten years left to save the planet.

The good news is that, ten years from now, there will still be ten years left.

My whole life, it's been between nine to twelve years left to save the planet. I've seen the rolling doomsday deadline for too many decades to be able to take it seriously.

i remember starting to do "things to save the planet" and "all doing our part" in elementary school to "repair the hole in the ozone layer" or we wont be around in the 2000s.... -_- lol

Exactly! It baffles me that that if a whole generation grew up that way there would be any among us not jaded enough to see through this nonsense.

Global cooling warming climate change is to blame.

Yeah, that didn't work, so they went with their Plan B -- take down the Twin Towers. :-(

My old, based, and technologically savvy economics professor (a man who could economically Red Pill anyone in 30 minutes or less) laughed when I told him about this article I saw where some grad brainlet at a major university was calling for Greenland (yes, the entire island...) to be covered in some kind of nano-material cloth to keep the ice there from melting. Next class, he showed up with a newspaper clipping from 1979, an article by another grad brainlet who had the bright idea to cover all of Greenland (...) with carbon dust ("Ironic, isn't it?") to keep the ice from melting. The author's pitch? "If we don't do this now, New York City will be under water by 1995..."

My professor assured us it was one of numerous such articles he had collected from his morning papers since the mid-1960s all making similar claims about various deadlines and offering Green New Deal-tier Bond villain plans for how to remedy the situation.

The climate changes. Its been changing for millions of years. But this shit? It's the climate equivalent of an Al Sharpton sermon -- free political brownie points off an unsolvable problem which will be eternally politically relevant. And that always means power and money. Plain and simple. This is why I don't trust charities.

North America was under 2 miles of ice 15K years ago. It’s a crazy planet.

God I love these. I know there's one that says the world will end in 1989. Do you have any more?

Hot take, the elites couldn't bribe mother nature to do what they wanted so they invaded and destablized the middle east to force people from their homes and in turn, push 'economic migrants' from the destabilized regions under the guise of global warming.

And the NPCs can't put 2 and 2 together.
