It just keeps getting worse, doesn’t it?
Then the world’s fever will work as intended.
No it won’t. Eco-fascist rhetoric like this is unproductive because it ignores the fact that the people who are most shielded from the harms of climate change are the ones most responsible for it.
Billionaires and others who are profiting most from pillaging the planet’s resources are not the ones at risk here.
