This has been a doozy of a year. And it’s the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won’t die of old age?

      Same. Ironically, very funny to me, we are arguably the stupidest species by far. I mean, we are the only species to extinct the whole planet. That’s wild. That one insect species that’s confined to a solitary rock in Africa wouldn’t do this. Even they are smarter than people.

        Planet sure doesn’t look extinct to me, and if it were we wouldn’t be the only one.

        This just confirms that climate change cookers aren’t aware of history beyond 200 years ago.

          Have you ever read what happens to people who get fatal doses of radiation but didn’t die from the radiation outright? They feel normal. Everything feels normal. But all their skin cells have died and as they die, they get pushed out and not replaced. That’s where our planet is at. Palliative care right now. We may not all be extinct yet, but we know how this disease progresses. Let’s not be cowards and at least admit that. At least die with some courage and honesty about what we’ve done.

      What on earth made you think that climate change is going to lead to the extinction of our species? What kind of exaggerated analysis have you been consuming?
