The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, so many more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics" #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America
This quote serves equally well for #Fascism as it does #ClimateChange and indeed so much else. It's well past time we got serious and a great many of us, our leadership most of all, remain as frivolous, under-informed & drastically unsuited to the challenge as we've ever been. #ClimateSky

of fucking *course* "we should stop worrying so much about climate change" is part of the groupthink of the Epstein-affiliate bubble. just like with racist pseudoscience, all these guys want to hear is "current power arrangements are good & natural and the problem is the people concerned about them"
Oh look here's Bari Weiss's new CBS contributor Peter Attia telling his pal Jeffrey in 2015 that an extraordinarily nasty climate denial screed by Matt Ridley is "pretty good piece"
here's what Attia was praising:

It’s easy to say the city is “full” when you have housing and you’re just telling other people that *they* have to go away.
"Maybe the city's full" says the man living in a 2.7 million dollar house on Palmerston, while sipping $170 scotch after defeating a multiplex proposal across the street.
