    No worries! I get corrected on things all the time. Thanks for taking it constructively instead of saying choice things about my mother.

    Want even better news? The earth totally isn’t fucked! Humans might be, but life on earth will probably be alright.

    Edit: I got in trouble with crazies when I said “fine” before, so let me elaborate - I mean life will likely survive and in sufficient variety to have no issue rebounding.

    The last big extinction event we had was the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event. Almost 90% of species died out. We’re not quite sure what caused it (probably volcanoes), but CO2 levels were nearly 6x higher than now, the oceans were sulfurous, acidic, and oxygen starved, and global warming was leagues beyond where we’re at now. Life bounced back and we’re not even close in severity.

    So should we keep fighting climate change? Hell yeah! But it’s not as dismal as it seems.
