Great essay, Jason. I shared it on Facebook. Like my mom says of those fossil fuel oligarchs and their bought-off politicians who are so actively burning the Earth because it makes them richer, "Where do they think they will go? Where will their children and grandchildren go? They will suffer the consequences too. There is no other planet."
I am so moved by this essay, Jason. Your anger and your love burst through this and create a safe space for me to rest my own anger, love and grief and not feel so alone with it. So much has to happen so quickly I can barely breathe for all the work that needs to be done. We must change the narrative, the paradigms of those narratives and we must do it now. I wish I could plaster this essay all over the telephone poles and the storefront windows!
“can only be blamed on our greenhouse gas emissions.” Great essay, thank you. But there are two “legs” to climate, not just CO2 but also land use. This was well known 50 years ago but the IPCC modelers found it to difficult to add land use to their models and plus it would interfere with all our green development. Forests shouldn’t be considered solely as CO2 sinks but as active drivers of climate on a much quicker and local scale.
“I don’t know how many more warnings the world needs. It’s as if the human race has received a terminal medical diagnosis and knows there is a cure, but has consciously decided not to save itself.” — spot on!
Another brilliant piece, Jason. Your writing has this acute ability to make me feel both fully informed of the gravity of the problem, while leaving room for hope, love, solidarity, etc.
This piece in particular brought to mind Parquet Courts’ song “Before the water gets too high”:
Weeping and cheering throughout this post. Thank you for giving voice to so many of our collective frustrations, despair, and refusal to give up fighting. And thank you for the shout-out! I find a lot of strength in efforts to reclaim and rebuild commons around the world. Mostly, I take heart from people's refusal to limit their imaginations to capitalism's insistence of what is possible.
Early pre-dawn and a song sparrow is calling out. The
dew still glistens. But to the east the sky is lightening and all nature is hushed, even the sparrow,, with the dread of that lighting sky, the burning orb, the awful heat to come.
“Global Warming:The Great Deception-The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care”is the definitive new work on the subject of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. Guy Mitchell, a businessman with the mind of a scientist, takes a holistic approach and combines scientific analysis with an in-depth review of the political and economic aspects of the subject. He uses proven science and scientific facts to refute every claim of the climate alarmists and proponents of the man-made global warming hypothesis. He exposes the true reasons that the UN, certain politicians and global investment firms promote the global warming fraud. His analysis is an unbiased, scientifically based, insightful, no holds-barred approach to the subject.
There has been no significant warming of the world’s oceans, atmosphere or land mass since accurate satellite measurements were initiated in 1979. The average temperature of the Earth is an abstraction; it is a figment of the imagination of climate scientists, conjured up in an effort to support a fraudulent hypothesis. The concept has no validity in scientific analyses of the Earth’s climate. Increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere does not cause global warming or climate change; the geometry of the Earth’s orbit about the Sun and the Sun-spot cycle are the primary fundamental natural causes. Man has had no measured impact on the Earth’s climate. The melting of polar ice is the result of a natural oceanic cycle and is not affected by man’s activities. Empirical evidence of global warming is the result of local atmospheric conditions that have nothing to do with so-called climate change."
Given that, what are we all so worried about? We've been deceived by those so-called "
scientists" and their liberal agendas. Go back to sleep everyone. Nothing to see here. We're in charge. Nothing but a silly group of alarmists, crackpots and tree-huggers outside. Don't rock the boat. Get with the program. Thank us for providing you jobs. Keep America strong.

“Look with attention and act with care”
A good mantra to live by. I was one of those with Heather most recently. I walked in “awe”
TY once again for your research and thought provoking and hopefully action provoking wisdom. Yours with others who need acknowledgement as well.

This is the work of MIllan Millan and all explained here: https://open.substack.com/pub/theclimateaccordingtolife/p/millan-millan-and-the-mystery-of?r=fhgru&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Brilliant post. Thank-you.

This piece in particular brought to mind Parquet Courts’ song “Before the water gets too high”:
Before the water gets too high
Add up the bribes you take
And know time can't be bought
By the profits that you make
Before the water gets too high
To float the powers that be
Or is it someone else's job
Until the rich are refugees?

Thank you for your efforts to sound the alarm.
And then there's this:
