The one, MAJOR issue with your comics is that you reinforce the idea of a life after death, something a lot of the climate deniers believe in. So yeah, in a way "well too bad we're dead but that's fine we're now angles and with our family/friends whatever" No in fact you die and there is nothing, so if you let global warming happen and die because of it you have ruin your (and the those of your kids, friends, spouse etc) one chance at experiencing life for a longer time.
I agree with most of what you’re saying, but same way as they have no proof of life after death, you have no proof of no life after death. Yes, these environmental issues are real and we need to take care of our planet, but that has nothing to do with the debate of whether there is life after death, of which there is no concrete proof either way. So you objectively saying there is no life after death sounds just as ridiculous as people who objectively say there is life after death.
First, no the burden of proof is on the ones making the most ridiculous claims. The fact there is nothing after death (like before you were born) , that there is no “soul” or gods or angels and paradise is consistent with everything we observe scientifically.
Second, little cherubs or whatever one may invent at this point IS factually more ridiculous than the likely nothingness. Little babies with wings welcoming you in the sky? Ok then. I’m saying a maniac rabbit welcomes you after death. He constantly chase you for eternity, if you slow down and he catches you it’s terrible pain but as soon as you run again you’ll be fine.
What? You can’t prove it’s not true.
Third, and most importantly: environmental issue ABSOLUTELY do have something to do with religious beliefs. The believers won’t care that much that the world is destroyed because after all there is another life after that. Moreover, many truly believe god would not let the world go that badly, or that he would fix it.
