Imagine being so manipulated, controlled, and suckered by Big Oil Propaganda that you spend your days being upset and triggered by a young environmental activist, instead of just tuning out mainstream news LOL weak minds are everywhere, on all sides, duped into arguing for oil companies & pollution

Yep yep, this is not an issue that requires working class folks to make any lifestyle changes. We didn't cause it and we sure as shit can't fix it, assuming anything even needs to be fixed.

I think the "consensus" studies are legit, but all they ask is "do humans contribute to climate change?" Of course we do, but how much is a huge mostly unanswered question. The media spins this yes/no question into something it isn't.

Thanks for the response. I key in on 'assuming anything even needs to be fixed'. It brings to mind the Amazon.

I was shocked to learn that the Amazon burns every year, and that this year was basically 'average' in burn years. I was, and am further shocked that the oxygen it produces, is exactly cancelled out by the amount of methane, and CO2 it produces. In actuality, it's net zero. I find that a shocker considering all that I've ever heard about it.

Then to realize that they've proven it's overgrowth, and overburden, that once was a highly populated area, with some of the largest cities of prehistory. Seriously a shocker, and it begs the question, of how many times are we lead by our noses into sanctified belief structures built off of lies.

I just roll with the punches, mainly concentrate on my own self development; I think the world would be better if more did this. Yet, it seems we live in a world where many to most demand others curtail to their whims, desires, and commands. Weird world, lol.

Oh wow, interesting. All of that is pretty shocking to me too.

Amen, that's a great question. Yes, this is certainly a bizarre world. I don't know what happened to live and let live.

The thing is, after the forests burned are they left to recover naturally or do the global corporations see it as an excuse to bulldoze it all and make plantations.
