Gore Of The Day
You learn something new every day.
A new study suggests the Mayan civilization might have collapsed due to environmental disasters.
As we move towards solving the climate crisis, we need to remember the consequences to civilizations that refused to take environmental concerns seriously.

I didn’t realize that the Spanish Conquistadors were an “environmental disaster”.
Al Gore is such an idiot.

The Mayan calendar ends in 2012. Maybe they know something?
Or maybe they are just another part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, ending the world in 2012 in a craven attempt to disenfranchise black voters and prevent a second Obama term.
