Yes, but I was busy thinking about moving your state highway dept's sign out of the way and forgot to take the earlier picture. #WorkZoneWTF #ODOTGTFOpdx #DefundStateDOTs #climateDenial #orDems

This is the problem with most AI actually - unless it is contained, and trained only on data known to be valid, it's useless.

Regular AI accepts climate denying hogwash as equal with scientifically sound research.

Also, models are only as good as the imaginations of those who program them. If you don't program in the possibility of your town being washed away, the model will never show that.

Is it wrong to wonder if there is a correlation between #vaping and #climatedenial?

The vaping industry is just the tobacco lobby in disguise. Its aim is to get young people hooked not middle aged people off smoking.

The danger of fires at recycling depots is very real and costly.

Why does #Labour do nothing?

So hot we might die?
Relax. If it was THAT bad,
Someone would warn us.

There's a meme on FB that asks why no billionaire has funded the halting or reversal of climate change, just so people would revere them for literally saving humanity. This was my response:

Partly it involves a process change to everything we do, so it doesn't happen on a specific day and so there is no glory, like saving us from an asteroid that's about to destroy Earth. There is no definitive problem that on a certain day you can say "see, it's done".

Partly because the solutions involve changing how everything on the planet operates in a way that many people will regard as adverse, because even though we talk about caring about our kids, people are really a lot in it for themselves and if it comes down to them having a good time or leaving a livable world for their kids, they're going to have a good time and pretend to hope their kids will survive it.

Partly it's that there's good money in pretending it's not a big deal, and these are people who like to use money as their signal of goodness. To the extent they pretend they care about humanity, in many cases they're just trying to make a profit on the fact that others do.

Partly it's that the solution is actually something that even billionaires don't have enough to just buy outright overnight.

Partly it's that it cuts into their lifestyles, in many cases, because the are some of the most planet-intensive people in existence. One of the things we need to do in order to survive as a species is stop being consumption-oriented and they are the poster-children for consumption.

Partly it's that they do not perceive that the threat is to all of humanity, only to some of it, and they think the people who escape it will be the clever ones, who they imagine are the ones with money. They think that by becoming rich, they have avoided it, and that they are humanity's best chance.

Partly it's that they have a bunker in their basement that is prepper-stocked with what they imagine is everything they need and they just don't care about others.

Partly it's that although we revere them as super-smart for getting to where they are, we over-attribute intelligence and under-attribute sociopathy. So, yes, they don't care that much about others, but also they aren't in a lot of cases the smartest among us.

Partly it's that everything else they do they already model as saving humanity in one way or another, so the "high" of having these alleged bragging rights would not last long.

Partly it's that their notion of what "investing" in has nothing to do with outcomes you want to see in the world, and everything to do with what brings monetary return, which steers them in the wrong direction.

Partly they think there are too many people and it's good that most of them will die, so they are doing humanity a favor by culling its numbers. (I'm not going to get into the racial breakdown of the order in which people die, but there's probably a lot to be said there, too.)

Partly they may just do the calculation that there are cheaper ways to get adulation.

It’s important to remember that not only do these shocking images represent the massive changes human-induced climate breakdown is wreaking on the landscape, but these disappearing glaciers also form the basis for much of continental Europe’s water supply

Professor Sir James Lovelock predicted that agriculture will have largely disappeared from Europe by the 2040s

Then what?…

We dare the climate,
armed in shrouds of dense logic.
It speaks just physics.
