In the DC area, we had two weeks of 70 degree weather in February. The cherry trees blossomed because of it, and then they wilted off the trees because temperatures dropped to normal.

I saw Fox News manage to put a anti-global warming spin on it by only reporting that cold killed the cherry blossoms, leaving out the fact that they normally blossom in April.

I salute you for your commitment to watching Fox News. After Trump's election I said I was going to consume more of the other-side-centric media because I wanted to understand how this F'ing happened. I can't, though, it's too painful. So I salute you.

Nearby, record low wind-chill temperatures in Massachusetts yesterday after a massive blizzard ten days ago.

civilization will fall because our ability to spend money and research on marketing and human manipulation will outstrip the field of perception of the people doing the manipulation.

I don't understand it how they ethically manage to do that. What kind of journalism is that?

Humans leave for about 80 years. Not many are willing to make choices for generations coming after. If someone's gonna pay you millions to spread bullshit, why would you refuse?

Your world's gonna end in a couple of decades anyway right?
