    Climate change, and how we’re doing fuck all about it.

    There are news stories about wildfires, droughts, water shortages, hurricanes, changing weather patterns, etc. But the climate change part is usually mentioned as an “oh by the way” and it’s rarely tied to stuff we need to do.

    Depending how far we push it, climate change is either “just” going to cause mass starvation and novel weather patterns; or it’s going to make the Earth uninhabitable for humans.

    Either way is fucking bad.

    There’s virtually no mainstream news coverage of what we need to do. People say to buy EVs, but that’s not enough. We need to either radically limit the amount of energy we consume, or dramatically change how we generate energy. Probably both.

    But there’s no coverage. Just tRuMp HaTeS wInDmIlLs.
