EXCLUSIVE: Climate Change & Copernicus (VIDEO)

Honestly, most of my personality is built off various things I remember from some documentary I probably watched like six years ago. I'm a millennial. Deal with it. Some of my personality is remnants from books I've read, but let's be honest, books are just documentaries for people with too much time on their hands. And when it comes to time, ain't nobody got time for it, I always say.

This video is about climate change, a subject I know so little about that it feels guilty to even include in the title. However, as an influencer, it's my job to shed light on things I kinda sorta saw and was like "Oh wow okay." Most of the time this is relegated to hot vacation destination spots or, like, fitness teas, but not for me. For me, I'm going to take my limited knowledge about a subject and combine it with a sudden existential panic about the persistent destruction of the planet and try to draw a parallel to a dead guy I was reading about the other week. Like and subscribe, double tap.

Really, this video is a confession about my own apathy in the face of an inconceivable threat, as well as the silliness of what it takes to get people to care about things they can't directly see or aren't directly affected by, kinda like how some people don't accept they're broken up with until they see their ex with a new partner. We're visual creatures, and apparently highly capable of self-delusion-- at least that's what I tell myself, but who could trust him? 

I hope you're enjoying these little one-off videos! Let me know what you think in the comments if you're just chillin' on a Wednesday. In the meantime, shoutout to Copernicus, I'm like not even afraid to say that. Copernicus, you look like every guy I stop next to in traffic.
