It's all very, very sad. And super important to highlight every bit of positivity when it comes, that's what those people (and all of us empathizing with them) need to get through the horrible event.

Forgive these people, they are currently living in literal hell, their entire lives have been destroyed in the blink of an eye. Some madness can be expected, people are desperate for some hope, positivity, love.
Be compassionate. What they did is wrong, but understandable.

My street is one of the later streets to get plowed on blizzard days in my city.
So I fully support naming a plow “About Damn Time”
(Just kidding i love the plow drivers and thank you)

It's ironic that war accelerates the transition away from dictator farts far more effectively than anything else.

Dont worry, 20 years later it'll be found out that our current green solutions is somehow worse and is causing devastating damage to the ecosystem, then we're gonna waste another 80 years bickering about it until the new solution becomes cheaper, thus creating the cycle.

It is semantics, but semantics are important here. Displacing tens of millions of people is different to killing hundreds of millions - and that's the difference between serious impact and catastrophe. If we use the worst words for bad outcomes, what words do we use for the worst outcomes?
We need to be able to explain to people the difference between 3 degrees and 1.8 degrees. Because there is a massive difference between the impacts of those temperatures.

We do something similar here in Scotland, with names like 'David Plowie', 'Sled Zepplin' and 'Lord Coldemort': https://twitter.com/gavmacn/status/1358397519198314498

I was thinking more the air power and specifically the US Navy and AF being on such high alert lately.

Semantics. The Middle East and India are in for deadly heatwaves and wet bulb events respectively, those will displace tens of millions of people at a minimum, that's a catastrophe in my eyes.

No it actually doesn't. As it is, we're heading for roughly +1.8 degrees. That's seriously damaging but not catastrophic.
But those predictions are assuming constant activism and constant efforts to implement renewables and fossil fuels. We need to work hard to meet those assumptions.
