What are you gonna do, destroy historical artefacts?

[–] Five 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes.

We're going to destroy the Moai Statues of Rapa Nui, the 500 year old Ming Dynasty Zhenhai bridge, and the Bagerhat mosques of Bangladesh, simply by failing to change the society that is heating up the planet and causing the water to rise.

If you cared about preserving historical artifacts, you wouldn't troll climate change resistance movements.

Your grandchildren are going to live on a planet that's an unrecognizable hellscape compared to the paradise you and I were born into. If they survive. I don't think these people are planning to destroy any artifacts during soup night. They are trying to organize to do what they can to stop it, or reduce the damage. You should too.
