Bill Gates opened the floodgates.

After 25 years of dire, ‘existential’ warnings, the political messaging is beginning to taper off and moderate.

It’s a necessary step. If you tell people the worlds about to end for too long, you lose credibility with all but the true believers.

Apologies are due to everyone that was fried on social media for suggesting things were not as bad as described. Anyone not fully radicalized was declared a ‘denier’ and accused of being ignorant about the overwhelming science.

It seems the people who acknowledged the climate was changing, but did not consider it an immediate, existential threat now have the high scientific ground. It seems possible they’ll keep it.
