(SCIENTISTS:) pollution will ruin our climate.

Now, people I’ve encountered, half the people who even NOTICE the chaos:

“They keep saying we need to save the environment, but it looks like the environment isn’t interested in saving us!”

“You can’t even tell what they ARE in that place!” (Srsly about a store in the middle of the weather discussion)

“Those solar farms down south!!!!” (Fury)
