Dante Young @danteyoung.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I’m taking a break from the news, especially the political stuff, but I’m sure politicians are already milking this disaster for political advantage. Politics are often the fuel that spreads misinformation about climate change. 100 0
Dante Young @danteyoung.bsky.social · 09/01/2025 I truly believe this is nature's "punishment" for humanity's abuse of the planet. It's also a warning signal that if we don’t take action now, nothing will be reversible. How can people still deny climate change and call it a hoax? 100 0
