We're going to be the first species to go extinct due to stupidity. A dude the other day told me that the guy who invented the weather channel says that global warming is due to Earth's orbit not being a perfect circle. I don't know how to combat that level of stupid.
While I appreciate your sentiment, Pandas definitely might beat us. They're already endangered and they're fucking idiots.
Actually, they're not endangered anymore!
If humans can save pandas from extinction we can damn well save ourselves. Easier said than done, I know, but we're actually making a lot of progress on managing climate change behind the scenes. None of it draws the same attention as a headline like "the world is literally on fire and we're all going to die" but that doesn't mean that progress isn't happening.
We saved pandas from extinction just because they’re ridiculously cute. Other animals aren’t faring as well, and the problem is most people who could do something to stop climate change look at the Earth and see profits.
