I usually don’t like to comment on “political” threads anymore but I’ll put it this way, we’ve all lived through many administrations over the years, some more than others, yet, we are all still here years and decades later living and breathing, no one is going anywhere despite the media hysteria.
Come to think of it, everything is all relative to the era. You have to look back at history, in major cities like New York and other cities around the world around the same time and before, there were major issues with horse manure pollution to the point where it was waist high, some people probably said “We’ll be drowning in manure”. Literally thousands of tons of manure being put onto the streets everyday. As soon as the automobile came along, that problem went away. Fast forward to the 1960’s, air pollution was beginning to become a problem, people probably said “We’ll be choking to death on air pollution and smog”. Started to crack down on emissions, first step was getting rid of the road draft crankcase ventilation system and replacing it with a PCV valve, a couple years later smog pumps were beginning to be added, a few years later hardened valve seats were added so engines could run on regular gas without a problem, a few years after that, catalytic converters became mandatory. Then, people were beginning to be concerned about a new ‘ice age’ in the 1970’s, never came to fruition. In the 90’s and 2000’s, there were more hysterias about things that were going to happen, never came to fruition.
I think the biggest threat to humanity is AI, time will tell.
Everything is all relative at the end of the day to the time and era.
