there is a lot of stupid to unpack here,but im gunna try anyway...

The idea that it's profitable to keep an audience in fear is a bit of a cynical oversimplification. Sure, media thrives on sensationalism, but that doesn't mean every threat they report is fabricated. Sometimes, the wolf is real, even if the villagers have cried wolf a hundred times.

Now, climate change. It's not about it being the end of humanity (although ot still may be), but rather about the scale and speed of the change.

Comparing it to the ice age? That's apples and oranges. The ice age was a gradual process over thousands of years. Climate change is happening over decades. That's like comparing a slow cooker to a microwave.

Yes, humans adapt, but at what cost? Loss of biodiversity, extreme weather, displacement of millions?

These aren't minor inconveniences. They're massive challenges with real human and ecological tolls.

And about the solar flare scare, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It's a low probability, high impact event. It's like not wearing a seatbelt because you've never been in a car crash.

Fearmongering is one thing, but willful ignorance? That's a whole different level of cringe.
