re: #12 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Nothing effective will be done to halt mankind’s contribution to GCC because doing so would run counter to the interests and aspirations of too many monied interests and far too many average people.

Yes, that. However, there’s an additional component to it: end times religious influence. I call it the nitrous oxide that primes the big biz denialist engine.

Many who succumb or are in the pocket of denialism also seem to have literal ‘end times’ or Rapture religious views. It’s as if ‘oh well, it’s God’s plan’ or the Rapture is coming anyway I’ll get to see it. They seem to oscillate between outright denial or rejection to ‘oh well-ism.’
