Climate change may very well be an extinction level event. Plastic in the ocean is not.

Reminder that according to the IPCC there is literally no scenario where the human race is worse off in 2100 than we are now, even if we do nothing about climate change and continue to use fossil fuels.

"Extinction event" narratives are not grounded in reality or backed by the science.

we can't accurately predict tomorrows weather or even trajectories of hurricanes, but lets go with this idea that the modeled weather forecast that's a decade out is realistic

What will you do to drive change?
