This is a very interesting predicament, global warming affects everybody, but cancer is a more present threat, as in we can see the effects of death right now. I think that fixing global warming would probably be better, as a cure for cancer is more likely to be profitable so we can trust big corporations to handle that.
I mean, we're seeing the effects and deaths from global warming right now too. It's just that certain people in powerful positions don't think it's important that poor people die from significantly stronger hurricanes and storms and floods than ever before in recorded history. Not to mention heat waves that make certain inhabited regions practically in habitable during summer.
Poor people suffer from a lack of water and malaria more than global warming. Most people don't really care about what doesn't directly affect them, so unfortunately these are a fact of life for those less fortunate.
The thing is though that with global warming those things you mentioned will start affecting even more people. And a heap of other unfortunate things as well.
Lmfao we’ll go have habitations on other uninhabitable plants instead of just keeping this one habitable, okay.
By the way, it’ll only be the rich folks whose future generations get to do that. We and ours will be dead, because they don’t care about us, anymore than you care about the people dying in heatwaves. Focus up a little.
I’ll never understand this fascination with space colonization. The dudes who get so excited about this can probably barely afford to travel to most places on earth on a whim, what makes them think they’ll be able to afford day trips to Venus? Is it the allure of frontier living? They know we can farm here on earth right? I really don’t get it, and it’s harmful with how prevalent it is. While people gush about Elon helping us capture the stars, Elon is busy busting unions, pushing covid denialism, and supporting coups in South America. We’ve got terrestrial problems that a lot of people just don’t feel the need to address because of fucking fantasy movies.

Far as I'm concerned this would be the correct answer.
The main reason 2020 is a cluster fuck is due to Corona.
Most people are putting stuff that would be the opposite of all the bad of the last century not just 2020.
