Poor snowflake industries afraid of the world changing again, guess what you are killing the very life support system that keeps us alive, you f with the environment it gonna f you right back tenfold. Our options are: reduce and maintain the human population to 3 billion or less or get out s together and clean up the mess we've made to make it possible for 8 to 10 billion. Sooooooooo aggravating to have to keep explaining this. And yes I get this f's jobs in these sectors but your job is not more important than all of humanity. How many times has a coal mine or gas field just shut its doors and said to bad when the supply ran out or it got to expensive to pull out of the ground and left whole towns high and dry. You should be lobbing for new industry to replace what will eventually dry up and go away anyway. And stop tying "Woke" to everything you are afraid of. The environmental movement is completely different and separate from LGBTQ rights issue.
