@uikakarotuevegeta but were not. Were spread out everywhere with large cities, farmland and infrastructure. Almost everything since the dawn of man has been made out of wood. Forrests have been cleared, species have gone extinct and the oceans are full of garbage. Even the air and rain is toxic at times in some regions.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout fossil fuels emitting carbon is a good thing for life because plants need it and if there's too little carbon, all life dies through a chain reaction

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So... industrial farming, isn't "big money". And consumers have no stake in why industrial farming or any industry excist. But this all falls in line with this great narrative, where you have no burden of blame, but some scapegoat carries all of it, and you can ignorantly go on with your life as if you have no negative effects at all on your surroundings. Sorry the "crooked media" shakes up that delusion from time to time... must be hard for you.
