You admited to fossilization being possible.Are you aware how it works?

Sudden burial in rock would not fossilize wood. It would simply crush it. Fossilization requires the slow replacement of wood cells with minerals from the surrounding mud. It is not instantaneous.

I do not want to turn this thread into a debate. I just want your position on climate change as I asked in the opening comment.

Just pick a number. It ain't rocket science.

You are an obvious 3.

I'd say I'm number 2. I'd love to do something, but what am I supposed to do about it?

You deny there is a climate problem.

You are a 3.

I would say that I’m in group 4.

Good honest answer. I feel you.

That's disappointing. I credited you with higher intelligence and social awareness.

There's a major difference in denying or not caring.

Not being delusional and realizing that climate change is a problem puts me above a fair amount of people. Though, since I’m so young, I honestly don’t really care. I could say group number two, but I wanted to answer honestly instead of pretending.

I don't really understand the people who actively deny that climate change is real. It's obvious that we humans have had some impact on the atmosphere. Or maybe they are actually afraid of climate change, and are trying to cope by denying that it exists?

Nah, I'm not denying that the climate is changing. But it's a tiny difference in temperature and it's not going to be a huge problem, if a problem at all.

You a part of the generation likely to deal with the worst of it and you don't care?

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously, ay wot wot?

Besides, I'm only 15 years old, what exactly am I supposed to do about a France-sized trash blob in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

I have a great idea! If you care so much about the environment and climate change, why don't you get out into the world and do something! Don't make hostile threads online, go outside and pick up trash, do something!

To @Billy-bingo

Then your science teacher has failed to educate you.

It's really a case of apathy. I could make a difference, but it would be so small that it'd be nearly insignificant...

would say i'm something between group 2 and group 4
