quote [ As COP 25 wound down, with key issues unresolved, Thunberg was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. In a speech at the U.N. the same day, she referenced the way corporations and politicians have co-opted her words. “Those phrases are all that people focus on. They don’t remember the facts, the very reasons why I say those things in the first place,” she said. “I still believe that the biggest danger is not inaction — the real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like real action is happening when, in fact, almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative PR.” ]

Well, that's their plan, aka adaption. I'm just extrapolating the current path we're on and the likely outcome of shit getting bad very, very fast. Thanks to various factors I'm seeing much, much more socially accepted talk of violence against the people stopping positive and productive changes from happening. Unfortunately, we're likely way past the point where that will stop extinction, but if we're lucky we might go down supporting each other rather than as suffocating slaves.
In the meantime, please enjoy this public service announcement.
