“By 2013 all of Florida will be completely under water.” — Al Gore

"There's no room for discussion." "It's a scientific inevitability" "They must act, they don't need to talk anymore". Is this a cult?

If saving the planet requires this level of cringe, scuttle the ship, Cap. It's not worth saving...🤦‍♂️
