Humanity losing the two best seasons just so a few rich dudes can get even richer
It was above 80º just a few weeks ago & today it’s snowing. For me the saddest consequence of climate change is the loss of fall & spring—feels like we just lurch between extremes now

at this point frankly I don't think there's any scale of mass death - certainly elsewhere in the world, and likely at home too - that US society won’t metabolize into business as usual
