*So you think there is a possibility that in the next 2 to 3 years
something as trivial as climate change could cause the extinction of the
human species? That's nuts. The climate has always been changing, just
12,000 years ago the climate was so cold there was a layer of ice over a
mile thick over Manhattan island, and yet the species not only survived it
thrived. But with the rise of AI Homo sapiens now faces a change in the
environment far far more profound than the climate or anything else it had
experienced before. *

*And in spite of that the MAGA dimwits are more concerned with the beauty
of the new helicopter platform at the White House, deficit spending, the
new ballroom, illegal immigration, men in women's sports, and the fact that
there is a "b" in the word "dumb". *
