This article/blog concerns me for a number of reasons.
- First, if the right sees this, they’re just going to use this as a talking point to disprove global warming.
- Second, it illustrates that the media is playing us, yet again, to serve it’s own intre$ts, and that’s disheartening.
- Finally, people (in general) are unable to process nuance and will not understand that there’s definitely worse to come and that we’re unprepared for the heat waves that we have now, which I believe the author shows are not as relatively severe as they were in the 30s and will be more severe in the coming years with the impacts of global warming.
I think maybe I need to read my news rss feed less.

And thats the problem. There is so much distrust in whats reported (we are all gonna die tomorrow) that people are just desensitized and ignore it. The point about telling it straight would go a long way but personally i have a hard time believing any of it is truly accurate and unbiased from any angle meaning the super alarmists vs super deniers.
Its an incredibly technical subject thats hard to make it into an understandable pure facts based position.
Right! There’s so much nuance and to add to the problem, the majority is unable to cope with science correcting it’s course when it encounters new data.
It’s in our nature to want a simple truth to believe in, and it’s hard when the ground seems to shift.
Maybe I’m just having a bad day. Hoping is hard.
As the saying goes. Hope in one hand shit n the other.
True enough.
