    God the denial. In a way, I kind of pity them. Ignorance is bliss, by acknowledging that these might be caused by us, they have to acknowledge everything else too. And frankly, it’s pretty scary to acknowledge that we’re killing off the own viability of our planet. It’s a lot easier to just pretend that these things are just normal storms happening and that everything is fine. That’s the hard uphill battle that we have right now, it’s not just convincing someone that something is happening, it’s convincing them that the world isn’t warm and fuzzy anymore and that it’s actually really terrifying

      Everyone should get a free space visit, like Captain Kirk. See the planet surrounded by the void of space. They wouldn’t take being able to live on this planet for granted anymore.

      Shit, i think i still have too much faith in mankind.

      Probably only a few would see it that way.
