Musk says "The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired" Fine, but after your administration has just released neo nazi leaders and you have just performed nazi salutes on stage, then I think you might need a better defence.

"I once accidentally gave two nazi salutes during a political speech."

There needs to be far better education regarding how events like LA fires are related to climate change. This article explains about whiplash events that are responsible. Just saying "it's climate change" isn't enough. People need to grasp it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We are going to see a lot more "climate solutions" and propaganda that are more about protecting neoliberalism and business as usual than they are the planet. Anything to ensure we don't stop consuming.

Carbon offsetting does not reduce emissions at source, which is what we need. Further, it is a form of greenwashing that alleviates people of guilt, makes them feel they are making a difference, and feel happier about taking more flights.

Rightwing billionaires have known for some time that they can control power by controlling the media and how people think. It's successful because few accept it; everyone believes they're a free thinker. With social media, Musk has taken this up a level. The result will be extremism.

Neoliberalism is a juggernaut that even existential threats can't stop. Covid: lockdown and vaccination becomes prepare and adapt. Climate change: cut emissions and change lifestyles becomes prepare and adapt. To succeed, we must also defeat the enemy nobody talks about: neoliberalism.

Residential flooding near Wigan. Will people link this to climate change, and what action will be taken?
