"Bill Gates's recent apologia, in which he conceded that global warming "will not lead to humanity's demise,"

I only trust climate facts from non-scientists who go to Epstein Island!

If anyone has, like, actually looked at the temperatures, global warming is, like, exceeding the rate of warming predicted by the IPCC.

But why look at data when we can listen to rich people who can afford whatever added expense climate change imposes on their good fortune?

Lack of critical thinking skills is just one of the many critical skills that Trumpers lack.

"According to analysis by the Washington Post, it is not just Republicans who have given up on climate change: the Democratic party has stopped talking about it, hardly mentioning it during Kamala Harris's campaign for president last year. The topic has dropped to the bottom half of a table of 23 concerns among Swedish youths. Even the European Parliament has voted to exempt many companies from reporting rules that require them to state how they are helping fight climate change."

That doesn't mean climate change is going away.
That means caring about climate change is going away.

"In October, the Net Zero Banking Alliance shut down after JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs led a stampede of other banks out the door."

This is simply business re-aligning their priorities to match the priorities of the United States Government, a government which shows disfavor to companies that are "woke."

I don't know if you have a DEI program where you work, I wouldn't expect a small private office would. But we had to remove DEI language from our mission in order to continue doing business with the Federal government, which is a big customer.

This re alignment is simply the macro level equivalent of all these companies suddenly supporting gay pride for Pride Month, then never talking about it again for the rest of the year.

"According to analysis by the Washington Post, it is not just Republicans who have given up on climate change"

Haahaha!
Listen to the Republicans in this thread.
They never believed it in the first place.

"People suck at managing long term trend threats that are slow developing."

That's what governments are for.
