    I gave up a long time ago. The last time we really did anything about an issue like this was lead in gasoline. 50+ years of knowing we had to change. I wonder if maybe the wealthy elites know whats coming. I wonder if this new rise in facism is partially an answer to the fact that there won’t be enough of anything to go around. That is why they want us having babies. for soliders. I hope they have some spark of humanity and let people self terminate but I bet you would need money for it.

      If you gave up a long time ago, then why did you bother to write that comment? Clearly you haven’t given up.

      Just wanted to add that maybe the last thing that we did for the environment and that really worked was for acid rain in 1991. At least where I live.

      A few years before that there was the Montreal Protocol that banned CFCs and helped to heal the hole in the ozone layer. I think.

      But yeah, I don’t remember anything of the sort recently,

      Genuinely seen conspiracy theorists say “they removed lead paint to that they can control you with 5g”

      If we still had lead gasoline, people would say you can pry it out of their cold dead hands

      I’m pretty sure that’s what the grab for Ukraine and Trump’s stated intent to annex Greenland is about. Both of those have the potential to become food security sources after significant global heating. I’m also pretty sure that’s why authoritarians are seizing control of govt (and by extension that govts security services) because there won’t be enough to go around and they’re going to need soldiers to keep the hungry people away from their billionaire breadbaskets.
