Perhaps you missed the analogy in my original between climate deaths and gun+traffic deaths.

You're so close to getting it. We will be talking about "sensible solutions" that maintain our current lifestyle until the planet turns into Venus.

I reluctanty have to admit I'm black pilled at this point. I see no reason to believe that our species is capable of the kind of collective action that's needed. There are no positive examples and so many negative examples.

You don't have kids do you?

I do have kids. Which is why your post bugs me.

My whole effort here is throwing your low effort back at you; including your misuse of sighted for cited.

Frankly I think I get you a lot better than you get me. You are your own generalization/analogy/metaphor.

You’re doing nothing substantive while complaining about lack of substantive effort in the part of others.

Functional illiteracy in the raw, dog

See my comment about being blackpilled on this issue. I don't think humans have what it takes to deal with this.
