“I keep seeing posts all over the doomersphere that folks are upset about deniers. I personally feel that the longer humanity is in denial, the longer everyone believes BAU (business as usual) is chugging along, that they are safe and have a secure future, the safer *we all are* until the food runs out. Since there is no "fix," informing humanity serves no purpose other than to instill global panic/terror. I now believe that the longer everyone is unaware, the safer we all are. Once the whole world knows, that day, collapse begins.”

“We’re way past the point of talking about what’s “reasonable.” Power lines are melting in the heat in Portland. Billionaires are paying no taxes and going to space. Buildings and bridges are collapsing. The only reasonable thing to do is change everything.”

Biden and today’s Democrats and Republicans will go down in history as complete and horrifying boobs:
“Biden’s new Cold War with China will result in climate collapse, progressives warn”
“A political fight is brewing among wings of the Democratic Party over Beijing’s help in curbing climate change versus curbing its human rights abuses.” [worry about America’s human rights abuses!]
"As a new Cold War takes shape between the U.S. and China, progressives fear the result will be a dramatically warming planet.
Over 40 progressive groups sent a letter to President Joe Biden and lawmakers on Wednesday urging them to prioritize cooperation with China on climate change and curb its confrontational approach over issues like Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong and forced detention of Uyghur Muslims."
The progressive organizations, including the Sunrise Movement and the Union of Concerned Scientists, “call on the Biden administration and all members of Congress to eschew the dominant antagonistic approach to U.S.-China relations and instead prioritize multilateralism, diplomacy, and cooperation with China to address the existential threat that is the climate crisis,” their letter reads. “Nothing less than the future of our planet depends on ending the new Cold War between the United States and China"

“Climate change has gotten deadly. It will get worse.”
“It did not have to be this way,” said Michael Wehner [who often comments on this page]. “We have known enough to take action for 20 years. And if we had taken action 20 years ago, it would be a lot easier. But there’s no ‘I told you so,’” he continued. “I just feel bad. Just bad. I really wish we had been wrong. But we weren’t.”
The only comfort, said Katharine Hayhoe, is in knowing that action can still be taken. Though the world could exceed 1.5 degrees of warming within this decade, scientists say we can avoid crossing that threshold if we cut global greenhouse gas emissions by about 7.6 percent per year.
Such cuts would require an unprecedented transformation of human society. But look at the alternative, she said. “We have choices to make. And the quicker we make those choices, the better off we will all be. The future is in our hands.”

“Arctic’s Last Stand”
"This frozen zone, which lies to the north of Greenland, earned its dramatic name because even though its ice grows and shrinks seasonally, much of the sea ice here was thought to be thick enough to persist through summer's warmth."
"But during the summer of 2020, the Wandel Sea in the eastern part of the Last Ice Area lost 50% of its overlying ice, bringing coverage there to its lowest since record-keeping began."
“It's the final countdown.”
