it’s so funny when capitalists are like Stopping climate change is TOO EXPENSIVE. like money isn’t even fucking real you know what is? Earth and you know what’s about to not be real anymore? Earth

Oh? Will Earth explode if we don’t save her? Let’s be perfectly fair here, stopping the climate change has nothing to do with saving the Earth. It has everything to do with saving Us, Humanity. Earth won’t even notice if we disappear, it will just keep flying through space, the climate will stabilize after we are done and gone and some new species will pick up the slack.

Earth doesn’t need saving, it doesn’t care and it’s not threatened in any way. It’s us, humans who need the saving.

To quote one of my favorite creators of all time:

“The planet is fine! THE PEOPLE ARE FUCKED!”
