    contrary to climate change we took that one actually seriously.

    we humans are very much able to solve all of our (human made) problems perfectly well, no matter how bad things are looking.

      I’m somewhat pessimistic. Even if humans zeroed every single pollution, it won’t be free on us, there’s a bill to be paid, and Mother Nature will effectively charge us for this debt. And it’ll not be cheap.

        humans are ingenious and adaptable. but we will have to get up from our collective asses to make any viable solution happen.

        a fire is lit under us and i think its a matter of time, the sooner the better.

          Yeah, yeah, I’m not condemning the action, the action IS needed. Like you said, the sooner the better. What I’m saying is that mankind accumulated environmental charges and felony, from decades of past and ongoing pollution, and these charges won’t be dropped by Mother Nature as the cosmic living judgess: we’ll still face serious consequences (we’re already facing it, with increased temperatures around the globe, intense floods, and other climate disasters) even if we managed to zero pollutions today.

    Cool but with all the deniers we should probably stop posting achievements like this.

    Only if it doesn’t get ripped open by satellites burning up at high altitude again.
