No, climate alarmism is not out of control. It is barely loud enough to hear. Did it even get mentioned at G7?

The inconvenient truth is that far too little is happening, and doing enough would be overwhelmingly cheaper. Quibbling has outsize impact interfering with action.

I feel like it is the opposite. I just bought Levi's jeans. There is so much sustainable/green washing on the labels, it is insane.

I've heard from friends who believe that we should depopulate the planet by 100x. Anti-human arguments all over the media.

You are in a bubble.

I second systemvoltage's lived experience. I've seen the same across two continents.

Sure, it could be a bubble, just big enough of a bubble to envelope the entire West.

Greenwashing is not evidence of anything happening. It is by definition something trotted out in place of something happening.
