How are we gonna finance stopping First of all, dumb question, because priorities. You finance it any way you can. Take money from fossil fuel companies. They have armies of lawyers, governments have armies of soldiers, tanks and fighter jets. Fuck big oil.

But if you need a less rebellious answer, heres one: Take the money you plan to spend on just coping with NOT STOPPING climate change. Spend it on stopping it, and buy icecream for everybody with the money left over.

Bacteria that consume the greenhouse gas methane could slow the rate of global heating, according to a study out this week.

It is no longer just climate-related, it is also very noticeable locally in the weather. Scientists have been warning us for decades, one alarming study after another.

This seems very similar to me. Maximum cognitive dissonance. Maximum resistance to reality or problem solving.
