And guess what … most of the people who ‘did what they could’ just kept driving their cars. ‘What choice did we have?’ None.

    He is partly right. We’re fucked. Seriously seriously fucked. He is also incorrect, in that without radical action to deviate from our current trajectory, it can and will get much much worse.

      I’m so scared how many people just keep on keeping on and have no cares.

    "It seems that we live in a very dark time, and we do. The human race has been on a very destructive path for quite a while, and we have these hideous weapons and hideous powers that can turn that destructive path into true cataclysm.

    But at the same time, an awakening is occurring and that awakening is being leveraged through the internet. It’s a consciousness awakening all around the world. And it’s that awakening of consciousness that the best hope for the future of humanity lies. - Graham Hancock

      Lol. The great awakening is that everyone is fucked and they’ve been suckered by cults led by the rich.

      Oh, wait, no, they haven’t learned anything or awakened one bit.

      If only the pyramids could energy cube our alien salvation!

    We’re on our way to more than a three-degree temperature rise by the end of this century.

    Fwiw, I recently saw a projection that we’re currently on a 2.9° path

    We passed the seventh boundary this year, and we’re in the extreme danger zone.

    But that’s much scarier. These boundaries weren’t defined back when we thought it was mainly about temperature

    Sure we would also all be under water by 2005 or something.

    Look, I do believe there’s some damage to the environment made by human activity, however these guys lost all their credibility after all the shit that Al Gore said for years and years that fortunately never happened. Anyways, did you notice that the artic sea ice is peaking right now?..

      Did you notice that the currents in the southern oceans have reverse directions, bringing up more CO2 from the deep waters?

      This can only be sarcasm.

      I’ve seen it often enough that people are too dumb to read articles they post to understand that the article disproves their point.

      But you are too dumb to even read the headline which already disproves your point.
