    It’s hilarious to me that South Park has been on the air long enough that they had to essentially apologize and admit they were wrong about their edgy climate change contrarianism when reality started catching up.

    If you want to see this play out in a move watch Don’t Look Up that discusses this whole thing.

    It is really sad long term :(

    More accurately:

    • Climate change isn’t real
    • Climate change isn’t real but we don’t want to change to avoid it
    • Climate change isn’t real, but the science says otherwise but that changes nothing
    • Climate change is real, but we want you to do the hard work by doing pointless things
    • Climate change is real, but its your fault and not ours because you’re poor
    • Climate change is real, and we’re now in a feedback cycle from overextended forests, permafrost releases, and overdevelopment, and doing anything impacts the most poor so there’s nothing we can do about it.
    • Climate change is real, we the wealthy and privileged did it, and there’s nothing you can do about it <-- you are here
    • Climate change is real, and we’re dipping to colonize another planet while you all die
    • The Earth is uninhabitable

      I don’t think space colonization is feasible.

      It sounds good, but the sheer logistics of it are mind blowing. It sounds cool to terraform Mars, but that’s a multi-hundred year process that will require quadrillions of dollars. It would be cheaper and faster fixing the Earth.
