    Default The climate crisis has become the public's greatest fear. -- OPEN DISCUSSION

    Pulling yet another liberal thread out of the chamber of ECHOS...ECHOS...ECHOS...ECHOS...ECHOS...ECHOS...ECHOS...

    Anyone is welcome to participate.

    Here is the original post in its entirety:

    Climate crisis seen as 'most important issue' by public, poll shows

    Eight-country poll shows people view climate crisis as priority over migration and terrorism

    A majority of the public recognise the climate crisis as an “emergency” and say politicians are failing to tackle the problem, backing the interests of big oil over the wellbeing of ordinary people, according to an eight-country poll.

    The survey, which comes before what is expected to be the world’s biggest climate demonstrations on Friday, found that climate breakdown is viewed as the most important issue facing the world, ahead of migration, terrorism and the global economy, in seven out of the eight countries surveyed. In the US it comes third behind terrorism and affordable healthcare.

No one seems much interested in doing a single thing about that, except for us citizens.
    Racism.

    Not a thread about gun control. The topic is some mysterious "climate crisis" becoming the public's greatest fear.

    Well, that's one form of Socialism... Fascism is another. Either way, it is theft of wealth from those who create it.

    Cars pollute the air. That is why California has emission control standards. Try putting your mouth around a tailpipe for 30 minutes, tell me what happens.

    It hasn't. You are deluded. Denying science and mathematics is not a generalized acceptance.

    Isolation is not unification. Redefinition fallacy.

    Correct. You are promoting fascism, not communism. Not yet.

    Guess what? We're still here.

    Will the world go on as we know it? No. New products will come along, new sports, new pastimes. Some governments will fall into fascism as you are desiring, while others will recover and return to capitalism and possibly even enact constitutions.
    None of it will have anything to do with a meaningless buzzword.
