:facepalm:

The folks warning us about climate change are literally trying save both human life and the planet.


Reducing corporate profits to save our lives is apparently "terrorism" now.

Didn't you get the memo?


Are you sure? A lot of persuasive voices have been popping up lately that border on advocating for human culling. See also: the degrowth/antinatalist/ecoterrorist crowd.


Then I'd suggest not to be persuaded by such voices.

Also, it's generally reasonable to not measure every topic based on the most fringe-opinion of it.


Everything of a certain scale had an impact on the planet's biosphere, some events led to extinction of entire species. The topic here is an ongoing "activity" of humanity which has set the course to make large areas of this planet uninhabitable.

We could just continue our path and wait for this to happen or take action in our own interest as a species.

> To be opposed to any changes to the planet whatsoever is to be directly opposed to human life.

I'd say that sentence can be used to normalize any large-scale destructive behavior, if you replace "the planet" with "society" it could even be applied to destructive actions against humanity itself...
