The amount of children who will because of this choice live abrupt, cruel, difficult lives is catastrophic, and not only do I see this as a condemnation of conservatives in the U.S., I see it as a condemnation of our entire society most especially centrists that treated such important science as something that could be tossed aside easily and uncermoniously like this or that insufferably came to the conversation with the axiom that there would be two sides and that some idiot trying to push a fake narrative deserved equal time at the table to talk as did someone who has devoted their entire career to science or public safety..
...in short fuck the joe rogans of the U.S. who spent all this time casually wondering if any of this was really real or whether the nerds were just freaking out because they are nerds who don't have any sense of proportionality and always think the sky is falling....
Centrists in the U.S. have pretended to believe in climate science for years, but they never actually accepted the existentiality at the core of it, just the aesthetics of caring and a couple of rhetorical points on it that they would parrot and then decide "this is too cynical of a conversation!" and utterly stop thinking about it.
This isn't hyperbole, without accurate climate data we are easily looking at 100s of millions of dead in the coming decades.... all the way up to billions if things go as badly as they kind of seem like they are going honestly.
To turn the sensors and science off now is to commit a holocaust of future children.
