Shoq (npub16xf…e0sv) I dunno global warming is pretty existential as threats go. We can probably survive the loss of the spotted owl, the continuation of a fossil-fueled economy, not so much. I think it's very likely that the worldwide surge of nationalist ideology is a side effect of climate chaos. Drill-baby-drill as an unadvertised feature of Bidenism is hard to forgive. I chalk it up to global warming response probably being a literally unsolvable coordination problem. That runs the risk of falling into doomerism, but the alternative runs the risk of becoming the kind of leftist who helps fascists by attacking Democrats. Honestly, the entirety of my adult life has been nearly 100% of choices, whether personal or political, being of the "cutting our losses" category; choosing the lowest magnitude of the negative utilities on offer.
