You know what you should buy for the person who has everything this year?

Nothing.

Unconstrained consumption drives environmental destruction.

If you're not worried about the accelerating trend in extreme climate events, it's because the media aren't reporting them.
October temperatures were off the charts bad.

If you don't think Elon Musk will use his control of Starlink's space-based internet monopoly to further his right-wing, authoritative, anti-democratic goals, you're not watching him do exactly that right now with his control of Twitter.

And he's already done it in Ukraine.

You know that metaphor about how a frog in a pot on the stove doesn't know it's heating up and doesn't jump out until it's too late?

Scientists have been pounding the table warning about climate change for decades, often at the expense of their own careers, only to be ignored by politicians.
And now that the climate is spinning out of control, it's somehow the fault of scientists??

I say this with all due respect to all those who promote this take: f#ck off.

What happens in Canada doesn't stay in Canada.

Climate change is coming for all of us.

Climate scientists, every goddam day.
