6 months agoFrom what I understand is that the warming isn’t linear but exponential and we are already at the point of no return well ahead of predictions.
The world we are leaving for the next generations is going to be a hot drought ridden wasteland because companies and governments for decades have been polluting and destroying the environment in the endless quest for money with basically no repercussions.
Companies have been allowed to dump toxic waste into the ground then walk away from it leaving the tax payers to fund the cleanup.
This is happening because of greed.
My guess is they chipped in so they get access to the US military satellite network for our military usage.
So that when the navy, army or air force are operating away from our shores they have a reliable way of communicating back home and to our allies.
