El Niño is now likely to be stronger than anything we’ve seen in recorded history, and probably stronger than anything in the last 50 million years. Global temperatures are very likely to reach new, unprecedented levels in the next 1-2 years with far reaching impacts. #climate

Most evidence is circumstantial - my brother the lawyer. A pile of circumstantial evidence convicts people. The tweets Elon wrote about how t should be grateful. The way t says elections are rigged, while his accusations are always confessions. The odd glee of “Everything Is computers”.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.
