The first scientist to warn Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperatures and cause climate change was Roger Revelle, almost *70* years ago (1956).
It's important to realize how long scientists have warned those in power. Climate change is not somebody's fault for not recycling beer cans. It's the result of a fraud against the public by corporations who have flooded the zone with bribes and misinformation.
Is it the AI death cult this time? The other technofuturist death cult? The fascist death cult? The fossil fuel death cult? One of several different christian extremist death cults? I’m probably leaving a few out. Why do they all have access to all of the power and money?

THE DOCK WORKERS FUCKING WON!! Direct action gets the goods. Always has always will. Remember this the next time someone tries to tell you protesting achieves nothing.
This is fucking disgusting: Character_ai is using my murdered niece as the face of a video game AI without her dad's permission. He is very upset right now. I can't imagine what he's going through. Please help us stop this sort of terrible practice. character.ai/character/Dv...
