Reminds me of a bit that George Carlin did regarding climate change: “The planet’s gonna be fine. The people are FUCKED!”

    Just want to point out for all the people who say things like "We didn't know how bad it would be..." George did that bit in 1992, and everybody knew exactly what he meant. Jimmy Carter warned of climate change while he was president.

    We've known for nearly 50 years, and we did almost nothing to stop it.
