The hypocrisy in how “they” try to “fight” climate change is just absolutely retarded.
Climate change is natural. It’s part of the evolution of this planet. You cannot stop it.
People are just too dumb and eat this propaganda up.
You can adapt to it, but NOTHING will stop it. Idiots.
Bro, these are the same people who think men can be women and cloth masks can stop microscopic viruses.

You aren't talking sense into them.

Ducks, goats, ants, bacteria etc lack that ability, so humanity is really more like super nature, I believe.
So let's pay more money to our government because we feel guilty for existing?

Yes?

No one thinks we don't have an "impact."

Who cares though? There's nothing any of us can do about that. Every living thing on Earth has an "impact."

If you don't want to any longer, just jump off a cliff and return to nature. Otherwise, you're going to have to learn to live with it.

How do we not have an impact?
There are 50 cities like that in China too, and all around the world.

So what? Should we go back to cave dwelling?

Do you think we are going to burn up because we built sky scrapers?

What other strange voodoo do you believe in? Humans used to believe the Sun is the wheel of the fire chariot of Apollo too!

That's up to you - not sure why you would feel guilty for existing ... are you one easily influenced by propaganda?

I've been practising my own form of "offsetting" for years, so don't feel like I need the government taking money off me, to get others to do the same.

Lol - learning to live with it can vary from choosing to have a lower impact on the environment, or by choosing to be a super consumer..... your post makes little sense.

The war on climate change is a farce. Truth. Deal with it.

"lower impact" for what reason?

Obviously, you feel guilty. No one knows why though!

Do you think that Earth gives a crap if you drive an F250 or a Prius?

"Super Consumer" by what standards? To some people on Earth you are a gluttonous, massive "super consumer."

Do you live in a tent in the woods? You are typing away gleefully on the internet, consuming all sorts of power and fossil fuels....for what? Something as trivial as perusing message boards?

YIKES! Talk about mindless frivolity. Aren't you worried about your carbon footprint?
