        Well, some people did something, but it wasn’t to try and prevent this.

            If you live in Russia or Canada, global warming is a gift from God that will convert useless tundra into a fertile paradise. Everything is relative.

              Let’s see about that paradise when the bacteria and other bad stuff in the permafrost gets unfrozen.

              Let’s also see how people currently living in those areas feel about the “paradise” when everybody else who has the means will try to go there since it’s the only livable area.

              Not to mention how “livable” it actually would be, with extreme weather, flooding from icecaps melting and other weather effects I have no idea about.

          That movie was criticized because it was on the nose, but if there’s one thing the last 20 years has thought me its that there may have been a time for subtle implications, subtext, and understatement, but it’s long over.

          If you aren’t screaming it, they won’t hear you and even if they hear you they won’t do anything…
