Fortunately, you don't get to decide which issues are "most important" to other people.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoSo, you're saying global extinction isn't important? It's a tough line to swallow from the GP, but I wasn't expecting anyone to disagree that human effected climate change was important. Surely it's the most important issue humans have faced, ever?
