Orwellian

I misspoke. Still, keeping 56 million tons of coal in the ground seems like a worthy endeavor.

All humans can comment and share because the climate crisis affects everyone. @billmckibben.bsky.social @podcastgreenred.bsky.social @dhlovelife.bsky.social @jeffbiggers.bsky.social @mustafasantiagoali.bsky.social @ssteingraber1.bsky.social

I wish the media would stop saying “detained” and “in detention.” That sounds so temporary. “We were detained by a traffic jam.” “Two students got detention for cussing in class.” Abducted, imprisoned, etc seems more semantically appropriate.

Alpha Metallurgical Resources must be just giddy to profit even more from pollution like this.

As climate-crisis “freak” weather events become the norm and forecasting, preparation, and reporting are defunded into oblivion, some likely Orwellian statements may include “we’ve always had deadly floods” and “weather forecasters are always wrong; this is their fault; fire and prosecute them.”
