The piece calls for a grown-up conversation on climate. Let’s start here:
There’s a difference between “we can’t create a truly ecological civilization under capitalism” (true!) and “everything is a lie, we’re doomed, nothing we can do in the next decade is worthwhile” (false!)

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Something to remember is that the Techbro billionaire class were rarely the actual tech pioneers. They're the ones who bankrolled it, or engineered a controlling share interest.
They're just Railway Robber Barons 2.0.
It's why they're crap at actual tech. Their 'skill' was money, timing or theft.

This one is simple. Fossil fuel companies *knowingly* caused the climate crisis. They must be held accountable to help repair the damage they’re causing.
