Myths and Facts About Climate Change
Briefly

Fact: There is something you can personally do, but you didn't do it. Fact: Modern climate change is caused by human activity. For evidence, look at all that footage of smokestacks spewing methane, which then cuts to a time-lapse of a big traffic jam and over to a lush tree in a field rapidly desiccating as a lonesome elk walks by, and then a polar bear tumbles off a melting ice floe and is surrounded by plastic piranhas from a kids' game that ended up in a landfill, and the child who owned it is sitting bereft in a sandbox, and the angle widens to show that the sand is actually a desert where an old-growth forest once stood, and we zoom in on a determined ant struggling across sun-baked rocks, and what's he carrying? A scrap of paper that says "Al Gore."
Fact: The younger generation's only priority is getting a bottle of Strawberry Watermelon Prime. Fact: What? Where did you hear that? Fact: Online. Maybe Instagram Reels?
