I still cannot get over how people equate extracting resources to build a thing which will let us do something for decades to come with extracting resources which we promptly set on fire so we can do something for a moment.

Like, this seems so forking obvious. You don't even need to "believe" in climate change to realize how much stupider it is to keep the status quo up.

It's only seen as "easy" because it's familiar. Interrogate it just the teeny tiniest bit and maybe you'll find the absurdity.

@TechConnectify I don't think anyone even mildly intelligent doesn't understand. They just PRETEND to not understand for political and/or economic reasons (because, most likely, their income depends on pretending like they don't understand.) A lot of short term thinking derives from financial motivations driven by stock holders who pretend they do care about life on earth when in reality all they care about is funds in bank.
