Remember when Exxon admitted their own scientists found evidence of humans causing climate change back in the 80's, but were silenced because money? Then Exxon was like "yeah, we fucked up. This is a big problem".
And yet, there's still a lot of people that deny that the earth getting hotter has anything to do with humans putting shit in the atmosphere.
Why is our species so goddamn stupid? I fucking hate us. We suck.
We're super smart apes who weren't ready for the society we made. Climate change requires an ability to make changes for something that you might never have to deal with the consequences about, which we're not designed for.
