If you steal something, something of yours goes missing. If you attack someone, the injuries affect you not them. Etc.etc.
I sometimes wish it was a real thing. Countries that deny climate change and do nothing to address it should feel all of the consequences while everyone else get only the share they deserve according to their culpability and how much they have done to stop it.
This study from last year estimates only about 15% of Americans deny climate change. To be sure, 15% is too high, but it's far from all Americans.
The trump cartel dismantling science and environmental awareness is horrifying to at least half of Americans.
Too bad peaceful protests are not enough to stop the complete corruption of democracy.
Sadly the 15% in denial are the ones holding all federal power
Well, more importantly, the ones holding all federal power may or may not be in denial, but they certainly just don’t care about it, and are far more concerned about simply making money.
Unfortunately, we all live in the same world. That world is going to be ravaged by climate change, whether Republicans want to pull their head out of the sand or not
