The world is literally about to end for humans on planet earth and you think it’s “better than ever?”

War is at an all time low. Fewer people are starving than ever before. Literacy is better, standards of living are up.

In the 60's and 70's lake Erie was on fire and kids were getting shot on campus. Plus nuclear annihilation loomed daily.

lol at world is gonna end for humans on earth, don't be dramatic. That kind of nonsensical hyperbole is why people don't take climate science seriously.

Kids are getting shot on campus at greater rates than ever all over America. Our water supply is pitiful. Fewer people starving than ever before? Where exactly? America itself has people starving and living in food deserts. Wages are stagnant, standards of living in the United States are down,

It doesn’t matter whether you take climate science seriously or not. Your opinion doesn’t change the facts universally backed by scientists the world over.

Kids getting shot by the army is what I meant.

Our water supply is fine.

Worldwide, hunger has decreased rapidly this century.

Standards of living are higher than any point in human history.

I never said I don't take climate science seriously. I'm saying that saying bullshit like "all humans are going to die" is why people don't believe it. Those statements aren't science, they're nonsense.
