I believe the fancy "DEI term" is the N word, unfortunately.

Did we change the term to "global warning"?

Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded.
I'm less frustrated by the catalog of demands (plenty of them were reasonable on their face). I was more distressed at how a series of local protests, marches, and sit in near St. Louis and Baltimore became a bunch of national talking heads claiming to be leading the organization or in touch with those that were.
As soon as BLM became a clothing brand, it was over. Nevermind how many actual activists were arrested on paper thin charges or straight up murdered.
This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now.
You're talking lobbying which is fine in it's own right. But it's expensive and the sort of activity that's ripe for grifting.
Asking people for money, for free labor, and for donations in kind is necessary for an effective legislative change. But it's also a great opportunity to get paid self promoting.
Whether it's Oral Roberts saying he needs a million dollars to save his church or God will call him back to heaven. Or Kamala Harris saying she needs you to donate time/money to her campaign right now or we lose democracy. It's all a ripe opportunity to play on anxiety in order to commit fraud.

That was a previous term for climate change.

The great thing about the palisades fires, they increased police presence and cut fire fighters so you know there was 0 homeless presence. Only rich bastards that can either afford it, or deserve it.

The Bush administration coined the term climate change to try and soften the urgent or legitimacy of the issue, Bush at one point owned an oil company.

Agent Smith (the Wachowskis) had us dead to rights.
We are a cancer of this planet. You can point to our supposed good works, but from the perspective of most surface life, we'll... the surface life we haven't yet exterminated in the name of glorious economic metastasis, we are a fucking plague.
Tumors refuse to stop too. It's in their nature.

We are a macro cancer of the natural world. You can point to our supposed good works, but from the perspective of most surface life, well... the surface life we haven't yet exterminated in the name of glorious economic metastasis, we are a fucking plague.
Metastatic tumors refuse to stop too. It's in their nature.
I find consolation in knowing we aren't the first macro cancer Earth has survived, and life will survive our very loud murder suicide.

As an American trapped in with these fuckwits, can confirm.
Good luck when climate change makes us desperate though. There's literally only one thing we are genuinely very very good at, mass production of the means of mass murder.
I genuinely fear for the rest of the world when the water wars start. We're idiocracy with a cartoonishly big stick we're absolutely dumb and petty enough to use.

We might be at climate conundrum, survival of life as we know it or more short term profit for the few.

global warming is the raising of the average global surface temperature. This causes climates of many regions to change. It wasn't renamed, it's just two connected phenomena
