my teaparty sister threatened me last week

44. So sorry to hear of your loss.

I think you sound like a very patient and very caring sister and she is lucky to have you around. And I'm willing to bet she knows it. These are scary times. The climate, as you point out, is rapidly changing and it is because of our actions and greed. People who don't want to recognize that or who are deeply culpable lash out and look for others to tell them it's OK. That the unsustainable lifestyle and investment choices they have made that are leading us all into untold suffering are understandable. That destroying what little future the children of tomorrow will have for a little extra money now is not only fine but even admirable.
Sounds like projection of the highest order. If you believe climate change is real and want to curtail it's advance because you care about people, critters and nature itself then you are making a bad choice, will lose everything and not have a nice life. Exactly what CC is ensuring for future generations. The epitome of selfishness is knowing what you are doing is bad for others but you will realize some gain and continue doing it. We are slowly becoming surrounded by people looking to be told it's alright, that it's not their fault, that everyone invests, that making money now and letting the world burn tomorrow is our God given right. That driving giant vehicles and jet setting all over the world is fine. Well, it's not. Not anymore. I wish we lived in that world still but we don't. What we can do is try to ensure it doesn't get worse. Some of us will try, but in the end if we don't change individually it'll never stop until it's too late.
