Yes, realizing that Earth is the only home we have really makes you think twice.There is no other planet for us to conquer. Mess this one up, and weβre a doomed species.
we've already blown past 2 degrees so it's clear that we've already messed it up. the true question is how much longer we're going to keep letting the epsteins manipulate us into messing it up further instead of buying cheap & scalable green tech from china.
thanks to the freedom of information act, the state department released an epstein files like trove of documents admitting that they made up a bunch of propaganda about several nations; including china; decades ago to make the world believe this.
also: the epsteins have engineered it so that doing this through some gradual shift will never happen.
the climate change will fuck over this this world because of people like you who refuse to learn what's already been common knowledge outside the western world since the 1990's.
no prescience needed; the american gov't has literally been doing that since the 1920's. lol
you would know this already if you spend your time reading these public domain file releases instead of uncritically ingesting propaganda.
i don't thing anyone can argue against self reliancy in our critical infrastructure.
our disagreement is centered on the misguded belief that the western world (the united states in particular) will ever stop burning fossil fuels. the united states became self reliant on fossil fuels during the biden years and the epsteins will guarantee that americans will stay trapped in this climate killing version of self reliancy until they've squeezed every last drop of oil profits out of the united states and venezuela.
