Seems like I’ve made people irritated by asking a simple question
Because to most it’s pretty obvious what was meant by that panel, so your comment came across as concern trolling.
Not to say that’s actually what you’re doing, but sadly the “Hey, I’m just asking questions here” argument has become ubiquitous among folks who want to express opinions they know are fucked up, without actually taking ownership of those opinions or being held accountable. And sadly, sometimes genuinely confused people get caught in the crossfire
Most people already know that while climate change can happen naturally over thousands of years, because of humans it’s happening so fast nature can’t evolve fast enough to adapt to it.
Like, not watching where you’re going and bumping into something is fine, maybe you stub your toe. It would be different if you were going 100mph.
Similarly, long term climate change isn’t that bad. It’s the uncontrollable rate it’s changing that’s the issue.

They assumed you were being purposefully obtuse, which is also a common tactic–aka “sealioning.”
It’s 2023…
