I clicked on some top 10 doomsday article a month or so back - it could have been here - it listed losing the ozone way up at the top.
leo would have to be in his 20s or 30s not to see what was done to bring us back from close to several edges. we almost lost all the big birds, burning rivers, mountains of burning trash, and smog so thick people couldn't go outside for days at a time
He claims to be old and retired. I wonder if it's just green groups that chap his ass or whether he thinks all donations to activists and charities are wasted, including churches, veterans and LEO support groups. Could just be an excuse for being miserly.
I'm quite older than 20s or 30s; retired, but not that old, whatever 'that old' is.
I have to question all donations, especially when the ones asking aggressively pursue donations; whether it's some environmentalists, churchy groups, or LEO support groups. My donations go to St. Judes, Ronald McDonald House, Shriners, and miscellaneous charities that help children. F*ck the drug addicts, alcoholics, and other self-inflicted bullshit. LEO support groups? Sure, if I check them out first. I get at least 6-7 calls a week from some recorded message seeking donations to paramedics, police, fire, and what'n all. So when I see "to help protect", I get a bit leery.
Spend money to fix it if it's already broke, don't stand there looking at it and whine about it.
