    Quit lying. Since 1944 things have just been recorded. And information is more accessible. They dont what happened completely years ago . It could have been worse .

    Only mankind is arrogant enough to think they can change the weather. And using a child to push their agenda.

    The first combustion engine was patented in 1879. The first automobiles weren't available to the masses until 1908, I think. By 1927 only half of all homes had electricity in the US. By this account we were already sending the planet into a spiral in 1944? While I think humans do have SOME impact on climate change, I still believe it is a drop in the bucket compared to the planet's own cycles. I feel certain our planet will still be here long after human mass extinction 🤷‍♂️

    In the 70's we were headed for an Ice Age. Worse ever on record in 250 yrs out of how many millions of years. Ice caps have disappeared twice supposedly. Does the shifting magnetic North, they say is starting to travel towards the equator have any influence. They say the moon has been incrementally drifting away from earth, does that have an effect. All subjects broached by scientist. My point being it could be cyclic, absolutely we need to care for the planet. Making a doomsday notion of it doesn't help, earth ending in 12 yrs. Takes 2-3 yrs to build a road and the world is going to change with the flip of a switch.

    You ever read the bible and see where God says there would be floods, fires, and earthquakes in diverse places. Before he returns. He is what you need to be ready for. Get over yourself.. Also, If you're that worried that man is causing all these problems then you need to lead by example .. start walking turn your ac off, lights and water.

    Just think the water that is here has always been here. But the only thing that I see that could effect the planet, is how much water is bottle up and stored in containers and is not being recycled by the earth as God intended. Just a thought. Water is in every thing we eat and drink. That's a lot of water.
