I know this isn’t the topic right now *sweats* but I want to go back to that climate change argument.

You guys are saying that climate change isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be, which is probably true, but if it’s put off as no big deal, companies will be like, “Okay! I guess it’s alright to release even more CO2 in the air, since it’s not that bad.” And personally, I’d rather have companies do something about this now than put it off to the brink of human extinction. (Unless you guys were just debating on whether it’s that serious or not, in which case... keep this in mind?)

Also, sorry for bringing another discussion topic, but what do you think about telling the public the truth? And not for small matters. If you’re confused, lemme give you some background info:

Do you remember the New Zealand mosque shooting that was live-streamed on facebook? If not, consider doing some research on it. Anyway, the news covered it and the whole story got a lot of attention. Which is exactly what the shooter wanted in the first place: attention.

Little did the news coverage media know, covering things like this inspires other people to do it too. It tells people that are thinking about shooting places or hurting other people that they will receive the attention they wanted. To send a message.

Now comes the all important moral code. Does the public deserve to know? Or should the news hide the horrible things happening, in order to prevent others from doing the same things? Which one matters more to you? Truth? Or peace?

wOW, I didn’t expect to go so in depth XD
