I don't have to keep up. This same panicked shit has been circulating since the dawn of time. There's always a group of apologetic, neurotic, self-hating people who believe neither they nor anybody else should be on this planet, and who believe that the planet is going to crash and burn at any second, and it will all be our fault.

I'm not sure the North Pole has even been iced over every year this century. Does anybody bother to actually look into this information before they take it and run shrieking down the street?
