If only someone could have predicted such a monumental change in risk.

@andrewdessler I find myself using two phrases alternately, but this is a chance to use them together:

Either we manage climate change, or climate change manages us.

And in that context:

Those that have the most, have the most to lose from climate change.

@andrewdessler

Learning about climate is a double-edged sword, b/c you learn about society. Learning about society is a double-edged sword, because you learn about people.

Yale had their trustee election this weekend, and both choices were donors to climate deniers. The likely winner gave $1M to DeSantis.

No oil in this story, but a lot of wealth.

@andrewdessler

In a gentler frame of mind, I'd put this way -- a lot of very well-educated Americans are immensely wealthy and intoxicated by their money.

It's hard to talk a drunk person out of being drunk.
