Reposted by Katie GroteDavid Roberts @volts.wtf · 25/09/2026One grim conclusion I take from every Climate Week I've attended is that the core old-school "climate communicators" have not updated their priors or their approach in decades, despite everything that's happened, and still, on a deep fundamental level, do not understand conservatives. 1318026

Katie Grote @katiegrote.bsky.social · 23/08/2026First of all, this fight has not “deeply divided” Sunset residents. We live in the Sunset and everyone we know loves the park. Second of all, there is no “compromise” that does not destroy the park. Third of all (should have gone first!), Sunset Dunes is awesome, full of good vibes and neighbors. 110
