This is some of the stupid shit that makes people not want to post hereForgive my mistake I tagged you directly while responding to multiple posts. I should have posted a general response. On the subject of Covid we were told many things and for me I relied on my fact checking which leaned heavily on those in the medical community. The prevailing information told us the biggest benefit of the vax was a potentially significant reduction in the severity of symptoms. Catching it or not that is a good deal more complicated to control but for me the effort was always opening back up and resuming some sense of normal. The vax was a huge leap in making that happen.
1. Where did I say covid was a hoax? Nowhere. I said we were told things such as if u were to take the Vax u couldn't spread covid. The majority of "experts" confirmed this. They were wrong
2. Where did I say climate change was a hoax? No where. Man made? Nope. Climate cycles the amount of climate change due to man is very minimal at best

In my opinion our best effort would be to approach reducing our eco footprint much the same way a for profit business puts a budget together.
Changes that bring little expense or mostly involve a change in mindset do those religiously. Next you look at what brings the most positive impact without being a financial burden. Lean into those and leave some funds for research but not for pie-in-the-sky concepts. We can't reverse the effects or drastically reduce our footprint that is the hoax for me. Do what we can and make sensible regulations for private business. Incentives for recycling participation and use of clean(er) energy and I am fine with some tax breaks for electric vehicles but see requiring them as a step backwards.
The argument you are making here is at best highly optimistic. Not saying the sky is falling but we are really just guessing when it comes to whether serious consequences are a decade off or a millennium.
