Just say it. Stop pretending you don't know. Say it each time.
Stop trying to gaslight us by blaming this shit on 'Acts of God'.
There is no god.
There is only us. And these assholes:
@gleick yeah, just say it, stop pretending you don't know, it's nos "human-caused". It's CAPITALISM-CAUSED.

Half the people you know won’t be alive, as you arrive to be one of those not alive people
It would be nice if the press also named the oil oligarchs who fund climate denial & who corrupt the courts & politicians.

In the same paper. Heat waves? They're just happening. Not our job to explain.
@gleick Yes, these poor travelers … /s
@gleick I mean we should pretty much give up on ALL plane travel really. And cars as well. Trains good, let's do more trains.
We've already got "sane washing" for the NYTimes' practice of studiously not mentioning Trump's dementia.
What's a good term for them being careful to not ever make the multi-millionaires who are cooking the Earth uncomfortable? "carbon washing"? "burn covering"? "melt skipping"? None of those really flow off the tongue, do they?
@gleick OTOH millions not flying to Europe might help a bit.
@gleick Here in France, @franceinfo adds it to every article about heatwaves, droughts, floods, wildfires etc.
@gleick I would like to cosign, being ill and exhausted in Bordeaux.
Maybe instead of "human-caused" it should be "oil and gas caused". Perhaps we should also mention that mitigations measures have been known for 20+ years, but attacked and undercut.
