    It’s sad to see people making jokes about this. The message is rather clear. The amount of times I’ve said this exact thing and gotten down voted before is depressing. People seem to want to ignore the issue. If climate change is as bad as predicted, it will affect everyone, and when it does, it will be too late to reverse it, we can only make it less bad.

      It is more sad I’d say. From what I read in mainstream media and social media it is already happening, we’re being fried to death. Lots of animals and parts of the Eco-system died already, yet the fossil fuel addiction continues.

      I guess lots of people prefer to look away and do short term planning only.

      Get off your high horse. It’s a joke about layout and styling. It’s the “don’t dead, open inside” meme from way back.

      No one is ignoring the issue. It’s plastered on the front page daily. We’ll be just fine without you. You’re not spearheading some unknown cause. Go touch grass.

        Yes they are. Plenty of politicians still say it’s fake. Lots of people I know in real life saying it isn’t man made, or it’s not real, or we don’t need to deal with it bcz it’s the coming rapture. If we were paying attention to it, we wouldn’t need scientists doing the research to protest.
