Somebody needs to write at length of the unhinged nonsense of calling academics critical of a monstrous technology, esp ones with direct expertise in formalism & implementation details: technopessimist. Are climate experts called pessimists for believing in & fighting against the climate crisis? 1/2

Next time a hurricane hits, would a reporter please ask Trump, if the damages happened because Trump inherited a disastrous climate crisis from Biden?
Trump might indeed run with it and say "yes, the climate is bad because of Biden", and — voila — climate change would finally be recognized by MAGA.

Sadly, I'm kind of used to >1700 dead after flooding in SE Asia & it not being high-profile in UK news.
But potentially 100 000 under evacuation orders in USA & it's still barely registering. We have normalised the climate crisis so quickly (BBC don't mention climate)

I hate when climate news frames these severe weather event as a "sneak peak" of the climate crisis... this IS the climate crisis! We're in it! It's here!
I talked to @heyjohnryan.bsky.social at KUOW about adapting to increasingly strong atmospheric rivers, and that reducing risk ultimately requires tackling GHG emissions.
"If we don't do that, atmospheric rivers are going to keep growing stronger...It's going to overwhelm our ability to respond.”
