And yet the boomers on Facebook still argue that 'theres no proof' and 'the earth has always had natural cycles'. Actually, it's not just the boomers and that's frankly disturbing

I've never understood this argument. A lot of the things we need to change will actually make life better for so many, including animals. So surely it would be a good thing even if the science didn't obviously point out the link.

I read some quote the other day saying 'we're past the point of needing a thermometer, we need a fire extinguisher'. We all need to stop debating the finer points and just get on with some actual action.
