The meme perfectly captures humanity's approach to existential threats. In about 7 billion years, our sun will enter its red giant phase and expand enough to engulf Earth's orbit. Yet here we are, depicted as having the same climate change debate even as the apocalypse looms. One person suggests reasonable action while another dismisses it as a hoax with some classic NIMBY attitude. Stellar evolution doesn't care about your political stance, unfortunately. The universe's timescale makes our procrastination look particularly absurd - like waiting until the day before your dissertation is due to start writing it, except the dissertation is planetary survival.
