    It’s begun! I wondered what this stage of denialism and gaslight would look like, and i gotta say i didn’t think they’d try threading hope back into the narrative so quickly

      I thought the same thing. I think a harbinger of what’s coming will probably be something like Bill Gates getting a “ClimateHour” on MSNBC to say “We got this” while he backs that up with rose-colored glass stats and data. And the panel will nod in agreement. Maybe they have one person who is described as a “skeptic”. Maybe the skeptic is even the butt of some mild jokes. Gates needs to be revered and his ass needs to be kissed. After all - he owns a significant chunk of the network.

      Smiling and denialism plus “We got this” approval of climate engineering are arriving much faster than I expected. I figured a “ClimateHour” would be 5 years away at least. But now I wonder if it could even happen this year.
