  On one hand, we have to accept that species go extinct naturally, even if climate change is human induced this time. On the other, humans have all but stopped natural evolution in larger lifeforms. There will be no animals evolving to replace those that die off this time.
context: I wonder when we will speak of them in thr past tense, like other extinct animals in our lifetimes. I wonder when we will be in the past tense. >
  
  I think it would be more like pandas, no longer naturally occurring but they would still exist in zoos >
  
  I remember seeing that something is causing their penises to be more brittle. I’m not sure if its happening to captive and wild polar bears, its been a while since I saw it. 
  But if thats the case, they might be done >
  
  There it is again that funny feeling. >
  
  Man I hate that feeling >
  
  Has anyone been able to find the actual govt study? >
  
  It isn't a government study, done by academics. The only link I can find is behind a paywall, but here is the info if you want to Google it. If you can find it somewhere for free please post the link.

  They said this would happen. But science isn’t real, amirite? >
  
  The thoughts of some idiots i know:
  1) Global warming isn’t real
  2) Even if earth is heating, it is just a natural heat cycle
  3) Even if its not a natural heat cycle, our country changing anything won’t do anything.
  There is a special kind of mind out there that is capable of discounting reality. >
  
  My dad passive aggressively says shit like this all the time.  I had a text exchange with him on Christmas day and he casually brings up that where my sister in-law lives just had record breaking cold and of course he throws in the "but Global warming right?!? LMAO"  I really tried not to bite, but I couldn't help it.  Mentioning that climate change is not just about warming in addition to the fact that it's a slow inexorable process doesn't phase him.  "They've been talking about rising ocean levels for 40 years but I haven't seen any difference.  Funny how they never talk about the scientific theories that contradict global warming."  He usually then proceeds to blame Democratic environmental policies and calls it a sham.  I just kind of try and avoid any political discussions because it is impossible to make any headway. >
  
  Start linking him articles about people dealing with sea level rise and other effects of climate change. They were indoctrinated through repetition. The only way we can hope to beat lies (besides stopping the liars) is to literally use the truth as a cudgel and beat the information into their heads. 
  Or national level cult deprogramming. But we're never getting that.
