Fundamentally, the climate change issue is about chemistry, not a cycle of self-loathing and self-purification. Why are we letting a modern religion of ego and identity eat our attention spans when the stakes are this high? https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1179057953443217410 …

Just today you focused our attn on plastic straws, admittedly a silly thing but then why it instead of, say, the feds repeal of CA auto emission regs? A month ago you eulogized David Koch. No one should celebrate death. But no one serious about climate change would stan him

If my thread on straws/calling for a global movement against smoothie-drinkers didn't strike you as a joke, I don't know what to tell you. If you genuinely think calling out the cruelty of dancing on graves is equivalent to "eulogizing," seek help from the pros.

That’s fair re: eulogize. “came off apologist to me” is accurate. Sry. Point stands: It’s hard to take you srsly on climate. *you* use tribal language like religion and loathing to diminish the alarm. You poke at failed efforts to do right but ignore those doing wrong/denying

Confessions and guilt circle-jerks are indeed the domain of religion. If you want to be part of the solution, make the effort to become a part of the educated community of human beings solving the problem. I'm not about to give a positive word to impotent self-flagellation.

You keep assuming I’m not educated on this... My libertarian friends do the same schtick. Act like the argument is about how to fix it then tar activism as religion. But we’re stuck arguing ‘problem or not’. Yet scientists are the most alarmed; cons. Christians the least. Huh

I'm not suggesting you're a Christian, or that you're not "better than" the Christians. What I'm suggesting is that neither of you care very much about understanding the chemistry underlying the actual problem you claim to care so much about. Prove me wrong. Please.
