    I got as far as " The lead authors of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports now pull no punches, talking openly about mass starvation, extinctions and disasters." before I decided to stop reading this one. Is the thesis that when talking to liberals we have to frame the climate crisis in relation to their personal experiences or they won't be able to empathize with people dying (eg due to hurricane katrina or the heatwaves or wildfires in their own backyards)? or is the thesis that "crisis, while apt is too divisive, therefore, we should call it something else so the people who are functionally denialists (insofar as the impede progress) can't as easily "well ackshually" our word choice"?

    I'm glad I can admit it on here, but I am tired of walking on eggshells because people are so fucking fragile. They call me easily offended because I hate snot-nosed adult brats who lack respect? I have to emotionally coddle people and hide 99% of my ideology, even if it is correct, or else they will freak out and screech all kinds of insults because they have no argument, only smart-alecky quips at best or [redacted] attempts.

    I'll spare you the rant, but basically. It pisses me off that everyone is okay with what big business is admitting to stealing from people, just for the money.
