tbh i wish more scientists went into politics because most businessmen dont have the foresight to do what’s right in the long run like we’ve irreversibly fucked our planet into the ground. like, it’s too late to fix. if we went cold turkey right now on fossil fuels and making plastic and used only biodegradable materials and clean energy from here on out, it wouldn’t matter. the sea levels will still rise, cities and civilizations will be wiped away. we’ve passed the tipping point of fixing earth. it’s not a matter of “it might happen” it will happen. it is happening. your children, your grandchildren will be born into an environment completely foreign the one you were born into. your parents, even, were born into an environment different from your own. and that brings me back to putting scientists into politics. the only thing we can do now is leave. leave the planet. leave here. and i’m not talking about moving next door to mars, either. you cant terraform mars, humanity cant thrive off of mars. politicians, i feel, are obsessed with mars. “we gotta go to mars, we gotta go live on mars” maybe a manned mission to mars, of course, but live there? we’re wasting resources on mars? if you wanna talk about the longevity of the human race, you gotta start thinking ahead on an order of hundreds and even thousands of years. you gotta make ships that can take life out of the solar system, you gotta make ships that can support humans for hundreds of years, you gotta think of the bigger picture and politicians just.. can’t. and it makes me so sad that we’re not planning this right now and today. we’re not planning to leave earth and go elsewhere, we’re wasting time going to mars.

scientists are out there urging people that we need to leave the planet because it cant be saved now and politicians are still arguing over whether or not global warming is real, and they pretend there’s an argument over if it was our fault or not.
