8 in 10 people now see climate change as a “catastrophic risk” – survey

The unborn grandsons/great-grandsons of the politicians will be fine. They'll have plenty of money to buy shit to protect themselves from the cosmic-scale fuckups of their progenitors.

I read a bit of Adams' stuff, and generally it just comes across as climate change denialism. The world paradigm is not going to shift because Trump got elected; he's already doing a fine job of self-destructing, and he was primarily granted his office because he was the only candidate with a motivated base of supporters (even if that base was generally lacking in the IQ department). Granted, I think he makes a lot of good points, but to me it looks like a lot of wishful thinking.

I don't trust the judgment of anyone who seriously thinks Trump can "change" the world. Trump is scum; it was painfully obvious he was scum before the election - not because of his principles, but because he has none - and anybody who didn't recognize that is lacking the same innate radar that separates those who resist fascism and Darwinian governmental theory in any given place and time period from those who blindly follow because rah-rah-rah-pep-rally!
