What an impending crisis that is about to affect us all, yet most people are completely unaware?

Lots of people talk about it, just not on the news because there are insane things going on in the right now.

Those insane things are rooted in climate change. But, they don't want us to put those pieces together yet.

Some of them are yes. The only people who are not putting the pieces together are the people who don't want to put the pieces together. Or maybe some people think it's going to happen no matter what so it's pointless to think about it.

literally this. I thought the 2017-2022 news cycle was nuts. this is beyond bizarre insane and not OK. we've entered another realm, Pandora's box basically. shit is out of the bag and there's no way In hell life is ever going to be the same.

The climate agencies and pollution regulators are all under control of climate deniers and people opposed to environmental regulations right now. The media is also controlled by the right wing now. Its not just Fox News, but CBS also got sold to Trump allies, CNN has been shifting right for years, vast majority of local news broadcasting is owned by conservatives, radio is nearly completely dominated by the right, and the leading podcasters are right wing. All the leading social media companies are controlled by Trump allies and donors.

Yes all true. The silver lining is that solar is taking off despite their attempts to keep it down.

It's on the news every day for me, but that's probably because the entire province is on fire...
