  I’ve been the weird environmentally conscious kid for more than 30 years. People’s attitudes haven’t changed. The arguments haven’t changed. You’ll still find people who immediately get excited about global warming, because they like warm weather. Some people are just astonishingly stupid, and yet, they walk around and talk and have jobs and can appear to be normal. That’s because they are normal. It is normal to be stupid.

  I know scientifically minded people who view it both as ‘hysteria,’ and for what remains, something that geoengineering can solve in the future. In other words, look up the WSJ article advocating for fossil fuel production maximization as a net economic optimization in the long term, as basically ‘better to maximize efficiency now, to better geoengineer solutions in the future.’ …I read geoengineering papers. They are horrific, as in “well, in our state-of-the-art-solution, maybe the ice caps will go extinct under acid rain and we’ll have to evacuate millions, and it’s still economically unfeasible, but maybe it will blunt things some?” I’m offended such arguments are being presented. But I can see where those opinions come from. All the conspiracists are right.

  it reminds me of this quote from game of thrones, is not the same thing, but it gives the same vibe about the scope of people’s thinking and worries: “The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are.”
