There’s a new climate site for some of the pseudo-scientists on here to disagree with.

“Built by former members of the team behind the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's popular Climate.gov website, Climate.us will keep climate information accurate, accessible, scientifically rigorous, and useful for the people who rely on it, including educators, students, journalists, scientists, community leaders, local and state decision-makers, and members of the public.“

This.  We can blame hype but the amount of video easily available now is something never seen before.

It’s the same with any outrageous behavior captured on film.  There have always been Karens… since the dawn of time… but now you see video of every single person doing something obnoxious or dumb.  Dumb people making bad decisions have always existed, too.  You just never saw it.

I don’t think people understand the gravity and how our perception has changed on certain things since every human holds an HD camera in their pocket.

....I can't even begin to tell you how bad it is with hs students including athletes. We literally have to teach players how to pay attention and how to absorb and understand what is being taught.

I was out on the golf course ... we ended up paired up with an 8th grade teacher and his son in-law.   Long about hole 8 or so the teacher began commiserating over the dumbing down of society.  He was urging, no exaggeration, that working in a medium economic foot print school system that he does ... these kids can't do math.  Like, really...  13X14 = a trip to chapGPT or they're lost. And the school system(s) are overwhelmed.  They can't flunk whole grades-worth of bulk bodies. I mean ... my god.  It came about because I was railing on about how since the Industrial Revolution, we've created a societal machinery where people have to think less and less - they're mistakes are cleaned up by the system.. so generational stupification ..etc

He was musing on about how climate change this, nuclear wars that... the next covid or alien invasion ...?  it's all going to pale in comparison when that generation starts inheriting the Earth  "you have no idea" where the apocalypse agent is really hiding.  We laughed in morbid amusement

Thinking back to the conversation earlier today I came across this. 

A worthwhile read
