1 year agoI often think about how, if there was a planet-killer asteroid on a collision course with Earth, it’s very likely it would be kept secret. At least if we had no way of stopping it.
I truly believe that if global warming is already past the point of no return, there would be a lot of powerful people out there with vested interests in keeping it under wraps. They’d definitely want to at the very least maintain their lifestyle while the boat sinks…
In many places outside the US, people just rent a trailer or a truck if they need one once a year. Obviously people who need these vehicles for their daily work should be able to use them, but driving a massive pickup truck because you have one task for it annually doesn’t seem like a good solution.
