Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

You do realize the media could run a week straight of news about ocean currents dying and half the population would challenge whether or not we even have or need ocean currents.

Are you saying the other half wouldn't demand action?

This isn't about what the idiots would do. This is about what leaders would've been asked to do if the headlines were about the oceans and not aliens.

Do not do the shady politicians' job for them and help the distraction work... It was to cover so they could remain lazy.

Lol as if the half that cares has gotten their politicians to do anything about it when they actually have control.

Right, great idea - let's all just give up and jump from the top of a cliff headfirst into rocks. No, wait, what I meant is bad idea. Horrible, horrible idea.
