Once upon a time, entire continents spanning Europe, North America, South America, and Asia were buried under massive sheets of snow and ice. Even glaciers formed in Africa and on Hawaii. Massive ice shelves once stretched across half of the world's oceans. Back then, without a single shred of human influence, everything melted away, only to freeze over again. This cycle has repeated itself four times over the course of billions of years.
So, how is an average person actually supposed to take global warming seriously? Even if you decide to treat it as a crisis, the primary driver behind the greenhouse effect isn't carbon—it's water vapor. And even if we look at carbon specifically, just 100 corporations are responsible for a staggering 71% of global emissions. Where, in all this damn chaos, does the average individual fit in?
Instead of addressing the genuine environmental crises—things like air pollution, chemical contamination of our waterways, and the way those toxins cause mutations in wildlife that wreck local ecosystems; or even discussing the xenoestrogens found in processed foods and drinks that destroy sperm counts and drive the average man toward infertility, physical decline, and plummeting testosterone levels—politicians and their corporate allies want everyone to fixate exclusively on this "global warming" issue. They want you to shoulder the guilt personally rather than pointing the finger at the entities that are actually responsible.
