    Imagine spending 40 years telling the world what is going to happen if people don’t do something drastic, only to be mocked, paid lip service, and completely ignored. That pretty much says it all.

      How can you trust all those scientists? Everyone knows people go into science only for the fame, money and power. We should trust these politicians instead saying everything is actually fine as long as we vote for them!

    Soon it will be considered rude to bring up people’s climate change denials. They will say its very unfair of you to bring that up.

    That’s what gets me.

    “Climate activism should not be considered an altruistic endeavor. Instead, climate action should be viewed as an act of survival, a necessity.”

    This right here. We criminalize and punish people for harming others and even property. It’s time to use this view against climate change by updating and enforcing criminal liability against major actors.

    The actions harm other people and the actors do not care because the damage is mostly external. This is exactly what criminal justice systems are there to fix.
