    The powers that be want to create artificial shortages of everything we use so they can control us

    that’s why no one’s talking about climate change anymore. 1. because it’s obviously bullshit and was only ever going to be used as an excuse to turn every free country into a dictatorship

    and 2. because of the massive amounts of electricity and water the data centers will use when they’re built

    What? you actually believe in climate change? You must be pretty young. In my lifetime I’ve been told there’s a hole in the ozone layer that’s going to cause the end of the world 30 years ago and that there isn’t going to be any ice in the polar regions by 16 years ago.

    But the same people who told me that have gigantic mansions with 4 industrial AC units each on beachfront property who also own multiple private jets. “oh but I bought carbon offsets” No, they get to write that off on their taxes, WE paid for their indulgences

    It’s like a church charging YOU for an indulgence that someone else gets to benefit from

      I won’t dignify the rest of that sentence by quoting any further. You have literally the entire world’s knowledge at your fingertips and instead you sit there being a fucking moron.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol - a problem being fixed doesn’t mean there was never a problem.

      Mate… We fixed the hole in the ozone layer because it was going to kill us… That’s literally one of the best examples of people coming together to solve a global problem.

      We had a real problem. Everyone agreed its a problem. Then implemented a long term fix and everyone stuck with it.

      You can take the tinfoil hat off. Shit ain’t that deep.

          He’s not the only one, there are a bunch of companies that want to launch fleets of satellites. I read a recent article that said in the very near future, only about one out of every 15 visible “stars” will be natural.

          Since the beginning of time, every living creature, including every evolutionary stage of mankind, have looked at the sky in wonder, awe, navigation, science, calendars, romance, beauty, religion, etc. Gazing into the cosmos has been a core human experience for trillions of people since the beginning of humankind, and now these Sociopathic Oligarchs want to STEAL that from every future human, just so they can have a little more money.

      Climate change is real and catastrophic, demands radical and urgent change, and has been globally recognized by scientists for decades. The ways many corporations and governments have framed it, and the non-action disguised as action they have promoted, are self-serving bullshit. You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

        It’s so catastrophic that no one who screams about it can point to anything that’s actually happening or has happened because of it

          TF are you on about. We’re in the middle of the strongest El Nino ever recorded. We have giant uncontrollable wildfires all over the planet, and they are getting more and more common. France used to get a major wildfire every few decades, now it’s like every 2 to 3 years. Europe keeps breaking temperature records basically every summer now.

          I can keep going. You are just a dumbass that lives under a rock if you can’t see what’s happening around you.

          I’ve lived in Florida & we didn’t have 95F temperatures every single day in August 40 years ago when I was a kid. I was actually able to remain outside all day without getting heat exhaustion. A fucking **glacier **just melted in Nepal and the resulting flood killed hundreds.

          You’re either completely delusional or you’re so full of shit, it’s coming out your ears.

      My brother in Christ, the hole in the ozone layer fixed itself because we as a race decided to listen to scientists and ban the shit causing it pretty much world wide. A full on concerted effort backed by science. What the fuck.

      … you know we fixed the hole in the ozone, tight? Montreal protocol?

      Safe to say it seems you have no idea what you are talking about.

      Anthropogenic climate change is very real and anyone still in denial about it is worse than a Flat-Earther.
