The Seven Stages of climate denial:
1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. We have time
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier
Trolls use all of these stages to deny reality of #climatechange

nice present-day example of the kind of oil spillovers into alternative energy that we study in the Managing Scarcity project. very similar to innovations in uranium leaching in the 1970s (@Bron_Michiel). even a mention of geothermal for @odinnmelsted

I just filed HB 1039, which will add select school supplies to our Tax Free Weekend. Imagine my surprise to know that school supplies weren’t already included! Let’s make this happen, y’all! Link to the language & a screenshot of what’s included in the next few tweets…

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.
