We're going to run out of wildlife. When they go, we go. This trend is accelerating, no thanks to reichwingers.



No thanks to left wingers as well.

Every bad thing either side has to say about each other is no thanks to both of them.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Care to back that up? Show me a pair of left wing brothers who've spent over 100 million on climate denial propaganda.

I've been screaming about this since the 80's.

I didn't have 100 million.

Squirm and twist and manipulate. You just never stop.

It's time for all of us to accept the fact that we're not going to survive the mass extinction that's already underway. Humans will not survive another century.

Unless a billionaire has a plan to live underground for millennia, and conveniently decommissioned all nuclear plants and stored the waste safely, humans are already extinct.

Yes, we did it to ourselves.

I'm sorry, too.

I've been screaming about this since the 80's. No one gave a fuck then, and no one does, now.

We're going extinct. We need to deal with that fact.

She can even make "The Extinction of All Mankind" about her...

Still hopeful - people are gradually finding ways to make money from saving the planet. Greed will save us! Sure, we'll be toasty and more leathery, but we'll survive. Some will. Probably.

That wasn't a jab at you, believe it or not. I wasn't talking about you or anybody else on this board, except maybe Second... but even he doesn't have the kind of money or power we're really talking about here.

We're just pawns, buddy. If the Democrats in power actually gave a shit about it, something would have been done about it.



Captain Crunch is the only one here who gets it, Marcos.


Our only salvation in the end will be Greed. If "saving the planet" somehow becomes profitable before it's too late, that is.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Greed will not save the world. That is like saying the secret to weight lose is to eat more, and better tasting, food.

Have you ever seen the TV show My 600 Pound Life? The weight loss doctor on that show, who tells 600 pound people to stop digging their own grave with their teeth, is in the same position as Al Gore, the famous Democrat who told people to stop digging their own graves with their purchases. The Doctor and Al Gore tell people that if they won’t do it, they will die. Well, Gore doesn’t mention death, because he was a politician, but death is implied. The Doctor has a hell of difficult time convincing his patients to slow down their eating. And remember, these people weigh 600 pounds! Al Gore doesn’t have the persuasive advantage of a Doctor whose patients struggle to move against gravity as a constant reminder that they have done the wrong thing in the past and present. Al Gore, and the Democratic Party, have to convince people to change, but the people think it is not their fault, it is the fault of the 7.4 billion people not living in America. If only those 7.4 billion non-Americans would change their ways, stop destroying the Earth, then Americans won’t have to change. So Americans take it easy and wait for the World to solve the problem without Americans’ help. Remember Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement? He is taking life easy.

Great line - "...who tells 600 pound people to stop digging their own grave with their teeth"

Otherwise: perhaps you are right. Perphaps not. You are an eternal skeptic (on this forum) and probably rightly so considering where you live and the people you have encountered and talked about. Remember my little anecdote about recycling and how it wasn't happening until our locals made it easy? That's The Trick - turn Americans/Humans inherent sloth and self interest back on themselves to get them to do the right thing. Think of it as Aikido Social Engineering. It has a chance. But for it to work we have to get rid of that fat orange PoS and his GOP lackeys. Otherwise you and Reaverfan will probably be right.

The fat orange piece of shit is really irrelevant here. It doesn't matter who is in office. It never has in the past.

Once we make green energy something that is profitable, then it will take off. Maybe it will even make a thriving industry where a lot of people will be able to make decent wages for a time as well.

But like any other industry the workers will eventually be screwed so the people at the top can siphon as much money off of their backs as possible.

At least it will be better for the planet though.
