It Doesn't Matter if You Believe In Climate Change....

WaPo story here.

  1. I think the public has started to notice climate change. It's perceptible now for everyone, including the insurance business. The supreme irony is that the DenierSphere has kinda "won" the battle, I have seen a great deal of apathy among scientists, they have stopped debating in recent years. The deniers were lucky 'cos ordinary people didn't give a damn. Now they give. I reckon in a few years time an ordinary denier will meet extreme contempt when he/she comes up with the usual denier bs. Same fate as holocaust deniers. I hope.

  2. I hope so too. I agree it's now perceptible for everyone.

    The other day I read an interesting article from Jacobin, a socialist magazine:

    Lifestyle Environmentalism Will Never Win Over Workers

    And those are exactly the people we need to save the planet.

    It expressed disappointed that the labor class, far from expressing concern about climate change, was instead all-in on consumerism. The author thought perhaps trade unions in the electricity industry might step up on climate change, since they have a front row seat, but all in all it wasn't a very optimistic article.
