It's sad to see people making jokes about this. The message is rather clear. The amount of times I've said this exact thing and gotten down voted before is depressing. People seem to want to ignore the issue. If climate change is as bad as predicted, it will affect everyone, and when it does, it will be too late to reverse it, we can only make it less bad.

It is more sad I'd say. From what I read in mainstream media and social media it is already happening, we're being fried to death. Lots of animals and parts of the Eco-system died already, yet the fossil fuel addiction continues.

I guess lots of people prefer to look away and do short term planning only.
