Trump knows it's real, or is listening to people who do.
That is why he wants Canada and Greenland.

Also unaware of how much the world would enjoy them being in there.
Underestimating the effectiveness of crowbars.

This is lovely
Why are you posting a photo of Peter Thiel?
100s of millions of people can do all kinds of things. I would not want alienate 100s of millions of people. Have you met people?
Very wealthy people who are politically active. Musk for example.
A glamping doxon?
That is too long to go on a sign. And I am not going out for his mean face and his mustache.
Also they have not arrested him yet, and they might not. They need to keep fishing to see if they can come up with anything. He's a man who causes violence and suffering *within the law* that's kind of his whole thing.
I will be shocked if they can find anything to even charge him with.
They don't even want people to realize that the problem is real.
That's not leadership.
I think we can do this.
I'm not scared of climate change. I'm scared for biodiversity and I'm scared of the short-sighted frightened men in power and how their fear could lead to catastrophic suffering.
But humans are gonna thrive if we can get them out of the way and simply focus on the problem.
Who is coming to the "free Bolton!" protest with me ?
(I swear to god if these liberals do that I will NOT get over it)
Some people find this terrifying. Their first thought is: close the borders! invade greenland!
And to some degree I think the wider public is becoming more aware, it won't help when they realize that they have been tricked that the seriousness of the problem has been hidden from them and downplayed.
Their panic takes two forms, one more apocalyptic than the other.
The first is the sobering realization that if there were wider public awareness of climate change it would mean that people would expect their governments to "do something" and this would disrupt a balance of power that is currently working for them.
The more extreme version of this panic is a kind of bunker mentality.
There will be more refugees in the future, not fewer. Food prices will be higher.
If anyone tells you that they can explain all of the craziness of the world in a single theory be skeptical. The world is complex and many factors drive history.
I do think there is one vector of pressure that we don't talk about directly very often that is playing a role in a lot of political edginess. From nativism, to the rightward swing of the UK and US the silent actor is climate change.
Because at this point wealthy people know that it is real and I think some of them are panicking.
I am uncomfortable.
I really love that fountain.
You should use the #FiberArts tag it's what all of the spinners, weavers, crocheters and knitters seem to use the most on here.
Can we uh... get some tapes of this? Forgive me for not trusting a transcript.
Not that it matters much. We can clear this all up by releasing the files just as the victims have called for.
I was torn about fixing it in my alt text...
