I know, right? The fact that we completely failed to enact any real policy to prevent this is an excellent demonstration of how well propaganda works.

Wasn't there an ice age like 12 thousand years ago?

It took 89 000 years to melt. We are doing it in just a bit over 100.

Yeah but I mean that means people survived it, right? Isn't that why there's all this contest about how old humans really are and what ancient history looks like because it turns out there almost had to be advanced civilizations during the ice age?

“Humankind” survived, but odds are pretty good that you, me, and the next guy specifically won’t.

20 years ago you would have been screaming about the hole in the ozone. People were apocalyptic about the hole in the ozone. I guarantee you in 10 years you won't be having a conversation about global warming.

They control you with fear and obviously doctored fake science.

Back when we took care of our problems, we banned ozone-depleting substances, averting disaster. Now we've let the power of corporations go unchecked, and they bought your opinion.
