Sometimes I wonder if articles like this, displayed prominently at WaPo and CNN last night, are meant to paint all climate scientists and people who worry about the environment in a bad light, so that any discussion about the climate is tainted.

I can hear the Joe Rogan bros at work parroting, “Micro seconds per century hyuk hyuk” with no further thought. And then later complain about skyrocketing housing insurance, increased food prices from this year’s drought, and the record setting heat and AC bills, like they are three separate unrelated events.
