- Steven420 2 weeks agoBecause it goes with the narrative
- Daishiman 2 weeks agoClimate change isn't a narrative.
- lesuorac 2 weeks agoWhy not?
Not all narratives are fictional. They're just all stories.
Although the part I always find a bit weird with climate change is that all the counter-arguements seem so poor. Like even if somehow it's not man-made, if the earth is going towards a less habitable climate for humans then we should make it man-made in the other direction!
