Getting downvoted for being right. Feels good man.

Well, being right doesn't mean people have to like you tho... And most of the time people don't like being told that they're wrong too. So, that's I guess where the downvotes came from.

I don’t care about downvotes, or if anyone likes me. As long as I can get them to take climate change seriously and inform them that collapse will happen in their lifetime.
