    The people saying “we’re destroying our planet and need to stop” want to see all humans go extinct but the people saying “nah oil belongs in the ocean” have our best interest in mind? Well I fully believe him.

      See this is a little bit of a mischaracterization - the Earth will likely recover from climate change. The human race are the sensitive species here.

      We need to rethink our rhetoric to make it clear slowing climate change is for the benefit of humans, not “the earth”

        You’re right I forget people don’t realize destroying the planet is like burning your own house down but your house will be fine and you’ll die.
