I never said it didn't exist - all I am saying is I don't hear any talk of it anymore. This planet has survived for billions of years - it has managed meteor strikes, ice ages, plate movements etc.
All you worshippers of princess Greta are akin to Flat Stanley - the idea that this planet wont survive another 50 years is a delusional thought. I hope your knees are not hurting that much.
You could be related to my friend from East Hull.
In relation to how long the planet has been turning, humans havent been around for very long at all but, we do appear to be bleeding the planet of most of it's natural resources and warming the place up, although some believe that the warming of the oceans is just part of the natural cycle of events.
Tbf, we are trusting the scientists, who, at best are looking only at the last couple of hundred years but, that could mean that things are even worse than some of the predictions.
The easy way is to do like Trump and just carry on regardless - burning fossil fuels and just disregard the science.
However, I dont have him down as any kind of decent scientist and his advice may not be the best on offer so, maybe we should hedge our bets a little.
