        And again when you tried using the apocalypse is here as a scare tactic for several decades, when facts alone would have sufficed

          facts alone would have sufficed

          But they didn’t. We were presented with the facts in the 80’s. We saw the effects in the early 2000’s. Remember the hole in the ozone layer? The one caused by mass pollution? Govts around the world chose to believe science and ban the production of a lot of chemicals and the ozone layer healed.

          Then everyone collectively forgot pollution was dangerous and started pumping it out as much as they could legally* get away with.

          *It’s not hard to get away with doing it illegally

            Maybe if Al Gore hadn’t talked like he was literally a magical fucking wizard we wouldn’t be in this mess
