My comment on a climate denial post (and huge, supportive comment thread) reposted here for posterity:

Sending thoughts and prayers from Australia, where the entire continent (the size of mainland USA) is on fire for the first time in recorded history.
I’d love to participate in this thread, but I’m too busy watching the escalating wars play out in the Middle East so that the west can protect and control the supply of oil for the highly subsidized oil and gas industry.
I just want to say it totally makes sense that we continue to dig up dinosaurs and deploy the military to foreign lands to use decades old tech in the 21st century. It’s a smart, forward thinking idea.
Also, I know those scientists and eco-nerds are totally perpetrating a huge hoax on us. They have a massive financial incentive to stand in the way of those friendly and ethical oil companies from making massive profits. It’s like big Tabasco - but in reverse!
Go team!
