I too often read "The planet is dying! 😱"

It is not. The planet is adapting to what we're doing. There will always be a rich ecosystem on our planet.

But that ecosystem will adapt to the point where we no longer have a place in it.

No, the planet is not dying. We are.

Please understand that this planet is much more powerful than we will ever be. In geohistoric scale, we are a flyspeck. Thinking that we would be able to extinguish the life on this planet is rather arrogant. No, not even with nukes. All we will accomplish is our own extinction.

Fact Check: Did a 1912 News Article Predict Coal-Fueled Climate Change?

A clipping of an article from more than a century ago mentioning the issue of coal usage has been spread on social media.

@eesger @KleineMaulwurf Thank you for your service of providing the fact check.

This reality has broken my ability to discern satire, outright lies, and actual facts from each other based on context alone.
