  1. If only we had MORE wind turbines that don't work when the wind's not blowing, we would be fossil-fuel-free! "It doesn't matter how much strip-mining it takes! We will be 100% EV by 2030!" "We're in an existential crisis! Civil rights come a distant second!" "Slavery is OK if I can just get my Tesla."

  2. You're not supposed to notice two things: The 'hockey stick' starts on the coldest year of the 20th Century. The rapid rise in temps getting us back on the centuries-old schedule, has leveled off. There's little or no indication that climate isn't doing what climate's been doing for millions of years, and especially since the end of the last Ice Age. In 1979, the same people were screaming at us to give all our money and authority to the federal government to combat the looming ice age. Now, since that disaster was somehow diverted by our doing nothing about it, we must give all our money and authority to the federal government to combat global warming. It doesn't matter what "crisis" we perceive ourselves to be in. The same people always want us to do the same thing: Give all our money and authority to THEM, so they can solve all our problems for us. Well, "they" are the biggest threat to the environment, humanity, and life on Earth. Usually it's done an inch at a time. "Give us this ONE tiny bit of extra authority, to help fix this problem quicker." There've been thousands of "just one thing"s over the last 80 years, and it's all led us to the Surveillance State and the weaponization of the financial system against wrong-think.
