people who have suffered a tragedy

Global warming is not a tragedy. It’s a highly predictable FAFO moment. We decided, as a civilization, to do this to ourselves. It’s not an anomaly. We voted for it. People were asked “do you want hurricanes to wash away your houses?” and they said, “yes, please!”

Of course, that’s not true for children and animals, and I have so much sadness for them. But the adults? No. I watched them choose this.

Global warming is a tragedy. The greatest tragedy of our time.

My point is our culture needs more empathy. Outrage and anger, there's enough of that. Empathy, even for those who made a mistake.
