We've been denying the climate crisis since Exxon created it in the 70s.

Climate crisis, who knows why that happens, didn't even exist! I don't even think it's real!
Right now, Bolsonaro is going to do more damage to the climate than I think any single person could possibly do. It'll be a disaster. No, I mean, if he... Well, once he... It declares open season on the Brazilian rainforest being cut down.

I'm saying that the world is going to eat itself alive because of climate. People are going to eat themselves.
Especially the oil executives who are just sucking as much money out as they could before... They gotta flee to their armored redoubts. No, I think it's more like they have to have had this idea from the research that it's like, well, the worst effects won't be till 2040. So they're like, well, I'll be fucking dead. What do I give a shit?
And this is something that I think is true, and I'm probably right about it. All of the stuff they predicted for 60 years in the future will be 10 years in the future.
