They kinda bury what the different types of warming are

Type 0: no warming Type 1: warming on upper and lower end equally Type 2: It doesn’t get as cold on average than it used to Type 3: it gets hotter than it used to

We had been suspicious in the previous letters but the em-dashes in this one pretty much confirm it

Lighter ev is hard since the weight comes from the battery packs. We’re certainly working on it, though

Do you have a source? From what I understand EVs wearing through tires faster is common knowledge

Oh

Well that’s no good. Will probably get worse with EVs, too, since they’re heavier. I imagine any rubber would do this, right? Car tires, shoes… Time to go barefoot, I guess

This feels pretty tightly coupled with political polarization

Deadliest doesn’t fit as well as Most Lethal does. Deadliest refers to most cases of death. Lethality measures how likely you are to die is you get it

H5N1 is also a bit more complicated because quiet a few people have gotten it in the US but it presented as conjunctivitis. Milk from infected cows would splash in their eyes and infect them. The virus had no way to get to the respiratory system, though, so it wasn’t a threat to anyone

Heck yeah

The existence of those videos are poor representations of reality. The algorithm loves content that tells us what we want to hear

Go watch Fox News and see how every problem they talk about Trump has the last word on. How they make Republicans feel like they’re constantly being stepped on and condescended by Democrats. How Trump is taking a personal and active role in solving problems

Is it all bullshit? Obviously. But it’s the same as the algorithm. People watch things that tell them what they want to hear

The boomers in my life are starting to come around with it but they believe and combination of

1. it’s not man made
2. it won’t be as bad as people say/we can’t know the future
3. green tech like electric vehicles are too expensive

The first two are frustrating but don’t really matter if we can engineer our way out of three. My dad got solar panels because they would pay for themselves eventually. I’m not saying we can just green tech our way out of the climate crisis but if green tech gets good enough it will go a LONG way
