It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

@davidho
That people don't care is perhaps the most alarming thing of all, as individuals we have no power against the foe of global warming of the climate. Only a movement can do it. I have felt the same way with regard to people letting a genocide go on for so long, a genocide that they armed. That they let a mobster mentality become top dog. Our polity is in an alarmingly poor condition to face these multiple crises. -

@davidho How to lie when reporting on anything changing: keep taking derivatives until the sign tells the story you want.

Those in power … those who don’t care … spend their lives in climate controlled offices and homes while looking at the rest of humanity as expendable

@davidho humanity can't heat home we are freezing in Europe. Whoever wrote that article has iq of chimpanzee

@davidho I live in Phoenix. It is absolutely wild that there are people IN PHOENIX who are unconcerned that it is getting hotter.
And it's not abstract! It's noticeable! It's March and we've already hit 90 degrees! It wasn't this hot 30 years ago!
@Thad @davidho I hear you and fwiw: the most recent national climate assessment (NCA5), the boring consensus-driven federal report with reliable county-level climate impact data that fascists yanked off the internet last year, called for I think an additional *90* days above 90 degrees F annually in Phoenix (and I think 30 more above 105 or 110?) when we hit 2C, which with the acceleration some scientists are screaming could now come as early as 2035 🙃🤯🙃

@davidho the earth HAS been this hot and much hotter before.
It was billions of years ago, the air was poisonous, there was NO water, surface was molton rock, the newly condensed dust cloud still collapsing and life will not begin for eons, but yeah earth has been hot before.
#ai data centers now?! ummmm no.

@davidho It's not that people don't care. It's that war hawks see global warming as something that can effectively be used as a weapon of war. They think, why fix it when it serves US global dominance?
Look at #iran right now, if that side loses and it gets balkanised by US-Israel side, global warming will be used as a weapon to keep the resulting factions in failed states, fighting each other for generations, for access to drinking water. That's the US-Israel goal by harnessing global warming

@davidho Voting out the #republican party is an important step in addressing climate change.
Yes, everything is political. Everything has always been political.
No, the #democratic party isn’t going to usher in a new golden age. They’re just what we have to use to oppose the #Trump regime.
Hopefully enough people finally understand that inaction and non-participation are immoral, and are contributing to the world’s problems.

Most people fundamentally do not care about anything. Perhaps the most depressing realization of my middle-age.
