Will this finally make people accept that environmentalism is not some hippy-dippy rich people idea but a question of survival for our species? Unfortunately I'm not optimistic.
But if we're wrong about climate change we'll have made the air breathable for no reason. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
And just think about all the species that won't go extinct! All for nothing!
The rich will stay inside their climate controlled, air filtered palaces and send the poors out to the wasteland to fetch what they need.
Probably not, or at least to the people who could make a difference.
The life long suffering and consequences of pollution this brings to people - This is a horrible situation. I’m honestly surprised there’s not better reporting of the people dying from this.
I remember the smoke from the Canadian fires. I couldn’t go outside (not that inside was better) and there was no getting a workout in without inducing burning in my lungs.
