Ya think?
Climatologists & Infectious Disease Specialists have been waving the red flag for decades!!

It strikes me that - as a species - we wait until flood waters/heat waves/pandemics reach our doors before acknowledging danger.
Perhaps it's our evolutionary extinction built in?; 10:13 AM

China's prosperity is similarly tied to coal. This is one of the reasons that the right uses often in its denial of global warming, they'll say we can't disrupt the economy. But this is just one thing. Is human nature involved, sure. Adaptability is a big deal, some can do it, many can't. This is the main point of human typology. We're not all on the same page most of the time.; 8:27 PM
