    > Do you think this is really about climate change? No, these are empty human beings

    I found it a ironic to make such a confident psychological diagnosis built on zero contact with the people involved

      While I absolutely believe in climate change, I DO think that there are people out there talking about it as fanatically as the most MAGA Trump worshiper talks about Trump. We have to be careful to not let the most fringe element of any issue become the de facto voice of the issue because media, both social and otherwise, profits on drama.
