Don't worry. Trump's administration will stop looking, that'll make the problem go away.
Just nuke it. They don’t call it “nukular winter” for nothing.
Oh dear gods, do not say that. It's just the sort of thing that he would believe. Don't give him any ideas!
Our current way of living definitely is doomed and maybe humanity is too but I take solace in the fact that Mother Nature has bounced back after some pretty bad catastrophes. It’s cliche but “life finds a way”.
That said, I wish we could get our collective head out of our ass and work towards solutions rather than relying on that hope.
Yes, life will survive, whatever we do.
But that's no solace to me, really.
I want my kids to survive, too.
Good point, climate change is one reason I decided not to have children. But, I have young nieces and nephews and I’d like for them to have a wonderful world to inherit.
If it's any consolation, Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is only about 1m above sea level and will be among the very first properties to get flooded by the encroaching sea.
