Again. Not asking for that. But I don't need to keep explaining my perspective if people don't want to see the importance of how we word things.

I think you're really funny. I did answer your question. Have a good day, bud. I'm going to block you at the next response because I have no interest in arguing with you any longer.

I don't need you to think that I am right, it's not about that. And I did answer your question. I don't need your answer, I'm doing my work, you do yours. Hopefully, that doesn't get in the way of your cricket matches. 👋

Let me ask this, if you will-
What has this article inspired *you* to do about our climate crisis?
February 6, 2025 at 6:57 PM
I'm not a writer. And for you to ask that is akin to "if you don't like it, how would you do it?" And I find that very disingenuous. It's important to recognize how language dictates our thinking. I can't show you that if you're not open to seeing this outside of your own perspective.

Considering how often people only read headlines, yes.
February 6, 2025 at 6:47 PM
I agree with that. My argument here is how language is used. If all we do is create headlines that continue to cause panic without direction, that's exactly what we will have. Yes, we need information. Yes, we need action. This language is used as a tool to dissuade action, not call for it.

Okay, bud. Since you don't see it, it must be true. I won't argue with you. To be clear- I'm not asking for less info. I'm asking that the information be provided in a way that isn't *just* to scare people. This type of language is purposeful, and I can't show you that if you don't care to see it.

I'm not asking for heads to be buried. WE KNOW what's happening. But this also paralyzes people into inaction, and we need people to be mobile. Regardless of what doom is upon us, we can't give up just yet.
February 5, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Neat. I'm saying, what is the point in constantly telling us this? We know. If we are constantly in panic from that has been wrenched from our control by the corporations and "powers that be", we can never come together to do the work that needs to be done. This is a tool to disparage the people.

It would be really nice if y'all highlighted the "but other scientists disagree" and that science a bit more. Stop doom and glooming the gen pop. We know what's happening, and *we* can't do anything except plead for our "leaders" to actually do something for once.
