both in GD and the Environment & Energy Group for years and they usually get no responses, few recs.

If you can't get politically minded liberals to push this issue to the top, how could you ever convince the average person to understand not only how bad things are (past many tipping points) but that it is happening right next door if not in your area?

The media bombardment (amped up to "11" with AI slop) of disinformation like "climate change is a liberal hoax" or ignoring the BIG worldwide events of catastrophic flooding, drought, animal extinctions, the real reasons for migrations, etc has made most people tune out, just the way the billionaires want them. Ignorant and pliable. And shopping.

And those who choose not to believe it or care about it because it's uncomfortable, well, they're gonna be a whole helluva lot more uncomfortable when the food shortages and deaths pile up in the near future.
