So I did a little search to see what people might say about my not caring about climate change. It was even better/funnier than I would have thought.
>The key result of her research is that so-called apathy is largely a defense mechanism against underlying anxieties and a sense of powerlessness against the inevitable.
>It turns out that when faced with environmental catastrophe, whether local or global, people tend to cope with their anxieties by pretending not to care.

Maybe some people do feel this way for this reason, but not me. I simply Do. Not. Care. I don't fear it. It doesn't bother me one bit. Kind of like Covid. I don't care that Covid numbers are up. Why is everyone so fearful? there are many greater problems to our daily lives, and the future of our society, than climate change.
This doesn't mean I am heartless. I don't want to see people starve from crop failures, I just don't trust what they are telling our society to do about it .The funny thing is most of the things we could do to stop climate change doesn't bother me. I think Americans should walk more, build more walkable communities and greatly increase public transit. But climate change just isn't any part of that reason. Even if the worst of the climate predictions prove true, those events are far away and would be slow progressing and it is ridiculous to think the most adaptable species on earth (well maybe excluding cockroaches) would not be able to handle it.
I simply can't imagine losing a second of sleep to the supposed crisis of climate change.
Yeah I read a book that went in depth into the lack of religion and community support in the rust belt and it was pretty compelling evidence. Now that I’m getting older, I can see the importance of religion. Much of it seemed dumb when I was a kid, but I try to urge everyone I can to stay active in the church, and it doesn’t even matter all that much which religion you pick, but having something is really important.
No because I don’t have cable. If I need stock market news, I will choose Foxbusiness.com but otherwise I avoid all major corporate media.

I saw on several news reports some state attorney generals are opposing the CDC adding Covid vaccine to childhood vaccines most states require to attend school. And in their opposition they keep referencing "experimental" vaccine. Yes, this was an experimental vaccine, but it is no longer an experiment. Literally over a billion (if not billionS) of people have been injected, and it is vastly apparent that the vaccine is simply a worthless and dangerous risk to anyone under 65. The experiment is done. They need to fight it on those grounds alone.

Kind of interesting weekly videos not earth shattering but worth a watch.

Whenever, which is often, I see in the media that “experts say . . . ,” I immediately assume what follows is lies.
Agree completely. What pisses me off more than just about anything, I used to post on reddit’s environment sub, this is many years ago before it was ruined, but even then you could post about any of these topics and you’d be swarmed with muh climate change. its all they can think or talk about. It got to the point I wondered if its just controlled by big companies to avoid any actual progress on things that do matter.
