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 we’re 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.
