The sad thing is there are people on here that actually believe the climate hysteria.

I wish we had a board like the political board to put this stuff.

All you have to do is let govt. control every aspect of your life and you’ll live forever. Not much to ask, is it? What are you waiting for?

I think there are legitimate environmental concerns and I hate how global warming becomes the total focal point and point of contention.

I really dont worry about the earth, itll be fine after we are gone.
Posted on 9/21/19 at 10:19 am to NATidefan
Well I have kids who might need to use things like water and air after I’m gone.
