The healing of the ozone layer was one of the most successful examples of global human cooperation.
You're undermining your own point. That kind of cooperation and commitment is what we NEED to be doing but aren't
no, not really.
the OP link is to a gloom and doom person who claims we should all just give up.
my point is that the whole idea of 'giving up' is not plausible as a state in which we ever exist. given what we have actually accomplished as a planet, and what we can accomplish in small, mature communities the link is to hyperbolic nonsense
I'm confused. You called out the ozone issue in a way that made it sound like you believed the ozone crisis was over-hyped because we don't hear about it anymore.
We don't hear about it anymore because nations of the world actually took action together, and it was solved. In your response, you seem to agree with that.
The circles have me spinning.
I mwant that the Op link ignores humans ability to problem solve, like we have with the ozone.
Ahhh makes sense now
That’s before half of our country doesn’t believe in a virus, much less the effects of climate change.
