A Polygraph for Climate Doomers

You should really read https://www.smbc-comics.com/ 

If you know someone who thinks climate change is The Worst Thing Ever*, and is going to exterminate humanity, please tell them we could fix it cheaply and relatively quickly.  

I doubt many of them are going to get behind that. In this sense, the Right is right; many of us complain about "doom" rather than seek solutions. (Here is another, more palatable solution - straight enhanced weathering. You also won't hear about that.)

More: The Worst Thing About the “Climate Crisis” Is What It Does To Your Brain. When I first saw that headline, I thought it was about how climate doom destroys mental health. But it is actually about the proposal to use the U.S. military to enforce global poverty, along the lines of The Cruelty of Climate Fanatics.

* From "Extinction Is No Big Deal" here:

"If global warming truly is The Worst Thing Ever, why is geoengineering a topic we can’t even discuss? Ocean seeding and enhanced weathering – these aren’t even part of the discussion. Increasing albedo is verboten because the sky would look different? A slightly-less-blue sky overrides The Worst Thing Ever?"
