When you have broken as many laws as FOTUS has and caused as much wanton destruction of the administration, you are an enemy of the state. The military oath, "To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC."

Getting up at dawn to walk my dog meant that she was exercised before the worst of the heat but had the added bonus of us not bumping into ANYONE. Zero small talk. It was fabulous. Just me, my dog and, briefly, a deer, who didn’t want to hang out with us either.

That's necessarily going to be a messy, fragmented, & somewhat cacophonous affair, not the neat "Civil Rights Movement Part II" that so many climate folks dreamed about for so long. Climate is always going to be a subsidiary concern for most folks, which is fine ...

Instead of trying to browbeat all the various factions & groups & interests into a single understanding of climate change, which is what the movement has been unsuccessfully doing for close to 50 years now, you need to find ways to meet people where they are, to talk about it in *their* language.

I've basically come to terms with the fact that there's no way around this. If you do understand climate change and really want to solve it, you need to figure out a way to work with people's proxies, their partial understandings. You need to find oblique ways of coming at it.

But the activists do it too. Poke a little at their belief system and you'll find some of them are using it as a pretext for their worries about overpopulation. Some people use it as an excuse to be anti-development. Others use it as an excuse for anti-corporate crusading. And so on.

You can see yet another episode of this happening in the dispute around RCP 8.5. Almost no one, very much including the vast majority of pundits weighing in on it, understands the nature and purpose of that scenario, or its role in modeling. It's just another excuse to bash activists.

The distant & abstract nature of it make this more or less inevitable. It's virtually impossible to wrap your head around the thing itself, so everybody comes up with these handles, these proxies through which they understand it, all of which distort it in one way or another.

For some people it's a stand-in for "the environment," or "human rapaciousness & greed." For some it's a pretext for progressive social & economic policy. For some it's a stand-in for "idealistic, unrealistic lefties." For some it's a synecdoche for a globalist conspiracy to bring down the West.

This is extremely clear when you dig beneath the surface of these surveys where majorities say they "care about climate change." Ask a few follow-ups & you disvoer that almost no one understands what it is, how it works, or what would really solve it. This is true even of the politically engaged!

I submit to you it is bc the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to him than the defeat itself"

It took me a long time to really internalize this fact, but the truth is that almost no one, across the entire spectrum of US politics, really cares about climate change as such. Almost everyone, on every side, from every angle, is using it as a canvas upon which to project their priors.

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Spain just became one of Europe's cheapest power markets. Here is how.
How wind and solar quietly pushed gas off the margin, and the wholesale price followed.
