If there was a movie where Nazis in WWII or Russians or Martians conquered the US and took over the government, this is what they'd be doing. Purges. Censorship. Destroying science capabilities. Subverting financial institutions. This is a hot war on democracy.

The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers reported in 2019 that fires are burning hotter and wilder as the climate warms, causing much greater destruction, meaning climate change fueled the Los Angeles wildfires.

I completely agree. I wrote a similar piece on this topic during my comps. Good to see this from @markhamhislop.bsky.social
A few readers have asked my opinion of Andrew's piece.
Here it is: I strenuously disagree.
Past energy transitions based on commodities provide poor insights into this one, which is technology-led.
