Climate change is a hoax

  I think about this comic probably once a week at this point. I don’t know if anyone will ever be able to boil the problem down any further than what’s here — “but what if we make a better world for nothing?”

  Unfortunately I have tried to show this to people, or use the line that illustrates it, and the gist of the general response is “my comfort comes before our safety.”

    Yeah this comic is perfectly accurate, plus the one with the man in the business suit, talking to some children around a campfire in a post-apocalyptic setting, saying “yes the world was destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we made a lot of value for it shareholders.”

    “But it’s not profitable.” -people who wouldn’t profit off it anyway, on any issue about socialism.

    my comfort comes before our safety.

    Then the billionaire says the same and crushes their lives.

    "Comfort means nothing without safety. "

    Or maybe

    “you won’t stay comfortable long that way.”

  Very old, still relevant. (Actually, more relevant)

    We wouldn’t want to make the world better, there isn’t anything in it for the shareholders.

      The shittiest part of this is that they have to most to gain, they’re just too godamn stupid to realize it.

      I'm more than sure that climate change will negatively impact the economy.

      So I'd just say that there is something for shareholders (not to mention investment opportunities in green technologies), it's just that some people greedy shits who don't think about what happens in future.

      Self described most intelligent species.

      Maybe the rare few who actually drag this suicidal group-think and cowed species kicking and screaming into the future very seldomly. Yet the masses will take credit for their efforts the same way a billionaire takes credit for what the workers do simply because they own the fruits of their labor.

  “What if we get rid of cars with a really sick revving sound?”

    We could probably recreate the sound without burning gas, the newer electric cars sound like alien ships which is definitely a different vibe

      Run this software and connect the output to the electric car motor. You can now have the full experience of any engine you want while burning no fuel.
