So, tell me, what do you have to lose?

Tell the truth in this thread.

I will lose peace of mind that the less fortunate will be even less fortunate.

Because if we don't do something to ameliorate Global warming nothing else will matter.

I'm actually quite glad I have no grand kids to worry about.

We all have things to lose. We try to live our lives to minimalize losses that hurt us.

Why?

People would starve.

The world would be in unimaginable chaos, even before a nuclear war. I could see him causing that war simply to end the mess he had made. No matter how narcissistic he is, the truth would seep through and he would not be able to face himself. He would be in a bunker somewhere, like Hitler. Maybe he would kill himself, maybe not.

Everything. I would lose everything, and so would everyone else.
