I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

No idea if the US will fall further into Fascism.
But it certainly will not be for the want of trying.

and easy to see how rioters could overwhelm a poorly trained military force
