    Quoteou are better educated than most. Are you seriously arguing YOU didn't know about greenhouse gases as someone who knew Physics and Chemistry 101 from high school?

    And here is where you shoot yourself in the foot.  RE and I have both known about greenhouse gasses peak oil, and our impending collapse for a long time now.  Ever since the moment we learned the facts we have bitched for change.  Evidenced by the fact that we are fucking here.

    And your role appears to be to show up, and throw sand in our gears.  And deny reality.






    To clarify who has responsibility, those who had power to make a change and did nothing.  Those who chose profit knowing others were disenfranchised and hurt.

    An example will be whoever sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador needs serious jail time.  The argument that they were nur befolgen von befehlen (only following orders) has zero merit.






    * Not asking for sympathy but I was about 12 - 14 years old when I figured out that A) Society depended on gas going into cars, and without it everything stops because all the horses are gone. & B)  The big lakes of gasoline hiding between grains of sand in the ground had to run out.  And C) Oh shit everybody dies.  What was I to do with this information?

    ** And I was about 12 when my father made it crystal clear to me that just because everyone else was doing something was no excuse for me doing it.  Your argument falls apart on those grounds.  Sometimes a person stopped for speeding will point out that they were just doing what everyone else was doing.  Officers are unruffled and simply agree with a : "Yes, but you are the one I stopped."
