    The last point made by the man from Colombia is very telling. We cannot sit here and talk about things we will do in ten years. We must work hard on climate change NOW

      Tell that to the big corporations who will benefit most from all of this.

      Be the change you want to see, I became an engineer to buy land and produce food in the carbon negative. Hippies always want change but never want to work hard to build, only protest and destroy.

    We really are doomed as a species. The world will survive but I’m not sure about mankind.

    It's only when it affects us directly, the world will do anything serious about it. By then it may already be too late, I fear for future of the human race

    this will be seen as a controversial take to some, but it makes perfect sense if you care for animals. they are prone to disease when conditions are worse, why would we be any different

    I noticed that we received good and Balanced rains in Africa in 2020 when most global industries closed due to COVID, reducing carbon emissions.

    Climate change isn’t world ending, we will essentially go back in time to when that carbon was already in the air climate wise.
