A world wide pandemic and lockdown might as well be what saves the planet from further warming.. or at least bide us some time.
Ending fossil fuels and animal agriculture are pretty good options.
I just had it stuffed
Broooo whyyy.
I didn't know the innuendo, I literally thought it innocently like a girl beaver making dams.
I‘m so very sorry….

Unlikely. The COVID lockdowns only decreased carbon emissions ~8%.
A 30% mortality rate would probably do a lot more than that over the long term. Especially if it’s the coal rolling dude bros who get it from raw milk.
Plus it was an 8% reduction we never would have gotten otherwise. I’ll take it!
As of right now we'd only have to quarantine the US... just like we might do in November
But inaction, conspiracy and stupidity would ensure a global spread like last time. (Take your pick for birdflu/November)
Do you volunteer to be sacrificed for the good of your planet or nah?
