- In 2006, former Veep Al Gore indicated that our planet is on fire and that with continued inaction we would reach a point of no return in 10 years.
Congresswoman Tide Pod Evita Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in early 2019 that we had only 12 years to save the planet.
The prog cesspool "Think" "Progress" then disputed AOC's claim, saying we don't have 12 years, but 14 months.
Obviously all those deadlines have come and gone and yet the third rock from the sun keeps spinning 'round. Perhaps it's a good idea to cease with breathless, hyperbolic claims if you want people to take your cause seriously.
Of all people, Bill Gates is starting to figure this out.
There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:
In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.
Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong. Although climate change will have serious consequences—particularly for people in the poorest countries—it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further.
Unfortunately, the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world.
Now, to be clear, I am not a "climate denier." In fact, I wholeheartedly support the endeavors of the American Conservation Coalition, who combines common sense initiatives without wanting to gut capitalism.

- Over the past 24 months, the Minnesota Twins organization has conducted a master class on how to piss away a level of fan excitement and buzz not seen since the inaugural season of Target Field in 2010.
Upon firing manager Rocco Baldelli at the conclusion of the 2025 season, the Twins had an opportunity to bring in a skipper who could stem the tide of fan apathy.
Naturally, they chose not to take that route.
The Minnesota Twins will reportedly name Derek Shelton as their new manager, per multiple reports including MLB Network insider Jon Heyman. pic.twitter.com/RuHrdsHW3m

Firing Baldelli and then hiring the guy who was his bench coach in 2019 is on brand for a club so steeped in the status quo. This does absolutely nothing to move the needle of fan interest.
- So who's most responsible for the Federal government being shutdown for nearly a month now?
Here are some prominent Democrats telling on themselves:
Democrats have blocked SNAP food assistance for 42 million Americans 13 times.

On Saturday, funding runs out completely, and families nationwide will go hungry.
In their words, they did it to increase their political “leverage.” pic.twitter.com/utXcrzE8sF
This is what happens when you have a major party scared of it's base, which is a collective who is not at all shy of resorting to violence if they don't get what they want or if they hear "trigger words."
