Must-read @alexsteffen.bsky.social on why Trump loves the climate chaos: "The Trump crowd has already shown they don’t see acceleration of the climate chaos as a problem—they see it as an opportunity."
There is money to be made off climate disasters:
🚨shoddy infrastructure repair
🚨utility privatization
🚨scammy insurance
🚨exploitative credit offers
Guess who is set to benefit?

I have long been skeptical of the Ocean Cleanup and all that it touts doing.
"CLEANING" THE OCEAN USING NETS IS A DANGEROUS IDEA.
The Ocean Cleanup is using boats & a net to collect ocean plastic (left). I've circles all the animals trapped in their early prototypes (right).
There are better ways to solve the ocean plastic problem... 🧵
