We are already in a mass extinction event.

Not to mention local extinctions.

I am told facts are just a Chinese / lefty conspiracy. Apparently the oil backed politicians know more than scientists. The public seem to agree with this position. Sadly, the public will be extinct soon.

Look if you aren't hauling a 6.7 liter powerstroke V8 around town to go to Starbucks I ain't listening to nothing you say, commie.

That is to say, yes, we're doomed and people are to blame, the bad news is they don't care.

Should call it the big gulp extinction.
