@DoctorVive You are truly a hero to try to push back on this bullshit. But honestly at this point it is like watching 17th century scholasticism debates. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

@SteveTheBookGuy @PeteButtigieg Why do you say Covid is likely to take out Trump? Genuinely curious. Do you mean politically or just, you know, turn him into a large orange pumpkin through repeat infections and vascular dementia? Thank you.

@DoctorVive Excellent thread. 🎯

@hausfath @PFriedling You work hard and seem like a sincere person so I find it gobsmackingly bananas that you push the idea of a “carbon budget” when it is extremely clear even to my blind parakeet that the “budget” framing is a terrible lie—let’s all just hit the snooze button.

Republicans are at war with life on earth. Democrats have “fought back” by marrying the heartland appeal of a HR department with the moralizing of Lisa Simpson. No one has stepped up to save us - so we will save ourselves. We’re kicking off a tour! New dates added. Join us!

@MarkCranfield_ Yes I believe we get it. Putin won the cold war after all.

@TooCivilised @LeonSimons8 Well humanity can kiss my ass. There I said it.

@RBReich Your party and your friend Bill Clinton did most of it. Ratifying Reaganomics for the center left.

@jembendell Good piece but « I’ve spent 20 years working on climate and I live between Los Angeles and the Gulf Coast of Alabama, » is a maybe part of the issue here

Now that the storms are so huge that nobody can pretend they are "just weather," the woke right are all-in on "the gubmint is manipulating the weather." Somehow I don't think we are going to make it.

The 6th great extinction is ongoing and all the f&%king politicians ever talk about is humans.

Is the planet's biosphere better off than it was 4 years ago? Are koalas better off? What about penquins, elephants, dolphins, crabs, bees? Is the Amazon better off?

F&%king humans.

@EliotJacobson planting and composting and fertilizing. Helping the bees.

@DoctorVive @newrepublic How wonderful. Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to read it.

[Academic Climate Doomer @FromAcademic]

@EliotJacobson @CathOBrian Go you, go you, go you. What a tremendous person, thinker, inspiration you are. Thank you.

[Academic Climate Doomer @FromAcademic]

@EliotJacobson As a long time student of academics and intellectuals, I have come to believe that some people just love the fight. It makes them feel important. Truth seeking is a tertiary value. Thank you for your excellent work Eliot. You are an inspiration to so many of us.
