Ignoring problems you have literally no control over works indeed
On a micro level, sure.
But if 75% all choose to give a shit for a year straight, we could all ignore it safely after that.
You couldn’t get 75% of people to agree that water’s wet, so have fun with that
We were at 64% just a few years ago for climate change...

We're real fucking close, which is why now is the absolute worst time to be telling people an ostrich is valid role model.
Lol I don’t think that link makes anyone more optimistic.
When you start breaking it down by actual ways to stop climate change and the highest yes vote they can get is 54%? And that’s a 54% for something I thought wouldn’t even be controversial.
I’m just saying it’s ok for someone to take a step back from the news if it’s gonna cause them to stress out. There’s not a whole lot people can actually do in their day to day and I don’t think fighting on a forum with ten people is helping anyone
That's the neat things about global catastrophic events...
We don't all need to address it the same way. As long as most of us are addressing it in a substantial way.
Something tells me the “fuck the rainforest” group and the “go windmills” group might not be the same group lmao
I don't think a "fuck the rainforest" group is mentioned in that article....
So it seems like you're just making shit up to justify telling people to ignore climate change.
Have fun with that
Im sorry I forgot jokes weren’t allowed or you’re just being thick because it’s the internet and that’s what people do on it.
I’m guessing that there’s not that much overlap between a group that’d vote against conservation of forests while voting for a pivot to renewables.
lol I think you’re already forgotten the assignment
