Not sure how I ended up watching a video from Foreign Minister Simon Kofe of the small island of Tuvalu in the Pacific this morning , where he video record himself giving a press conference in knee-deep seawater. Rising sea levels are threatening , the island is sinking he said. According to the news report, the video went viral immediately.
As disturbing as the image was, it was disheartening to read people blaming CNN, Democrats, Biden, and calling the video propaganda. Tuvalu is not even in the United States, but that didn't stop the trolls from insulting the Foreign Minister, blaming the libs, and making fun of this tiny nation plight. One person had the gall to ask if this video was filmed at Obama's beach house. Another was preaching the Gospel, asking people to repent, "the end is near", he said.
It appears that climate-deniers, evolution-deniers, Covid-deniers, and elections-deniers are the majority and the most outspoken in our society nowadays. We are doomed.
