Calm down there, sport. I don't have to cite sources or be factually correct to have a conversation about my perspective and pop culture references.
Um but you're talking about a scientific phenomenon so if you want people to value your thoughts, it's good to support them with evidence
You don't have to do anything ofc. It just bothers me to see people say that George Carlin quote "the planet will be fine," the Jurassic Park quote "life will find a way," or the idea that the planet is alive and will kill us off like a fever. Because all of those things are downplaying the seriousness of what's actually happening. From my PoV, what you're doing is very close to climate change denialism and it stops people from realizing how serious things are right now. Literally right now.
I'm posting on the internet on a place that is not super populated. I have no followers and want to gain nothing from these aside from conversation, learning, and my version of social interaction. Climate change is real. It's a very real threat to all life. I do what I can, donate to places I agree with, and advocate for groups that need to be heard. I do believe that life will find a way, because we came from nothing to begin with. Species have been destroyed, life was reborn. Civilization have been destroyed and rebuilt.
If life does not find a way, then it's the end of the road for our relative area. We succumb to silence like the rest.
