Yes, we're entering the time when feedback from climate makes fascism worse which leads to policies that make climate worse, rinse, repeat.
America just dramatically failed to keep #fascism at bay and this will have dire #climate consequences.
But we have a choice, every day into the future: keep rushing off the cliff, keep feeding the doom loop, or wake up to the disaster and do something about it.
is this correct?

The amount of bad news that I could be sharing with you, if I chose to, is much greater than what you actually see here on my page. Every day I have to filter through all the items I find, looking for those that seem to me the most relevant and most important for readers to know, not simply those that are the most alarming or most sensationalist.
I’m not trying to scare people — well, maybe I am trying to scare people — but the point is not simply for you to be frightened, but to take action in the face of a looming disaster.

This Storm-Battered Town Voted for Trump. He Has Vowed to Overturn the Law That Could Fix Its Homes.
—
Donald Trump has said he will overturn a law that helps communities better weather the effects of climate change. If he follows through, he’ll be reversing an initiative that has disproportionately benefited areas that make up his base.
Nearly 300 people from Newtok, Alaska, have moved nine miles across the Ninglick River to a new village called Mertarvik as part of a federally funded effort to resettle communities threatened by climate change.
But much of the infrastructure there is already failing, according to our investigation with The Washington Post and KYUK.
