Maui wants answers.
Such vast death. Why no alarms?
They would have acted.
We boiling frogs feel for Them,
Shush, Climate! We want to hear.

Is there any other article I have seen that resonates with the Feynman quote on the shuttle disaster ?

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." - Richard P. Feynman

Trying to fool nature will end ...badly.

Given that in such places as California the real estate industry has effectively climate-silenced the market with regard to sea level rise, this seems significant. The industry has craftily enrolled homeowners, who see their real estate as nest eggs and are thus willing to join in the deceit.

"Our results underscore the severity of the financial risks to current homeowners and municipalities posed by potentially widespread property price deflation."

Good point.

Not to bandwagon, but it reminds me of #ClimateSilence

"Print and online news sources have contextualized the #ExtremeWeather events devastating #California.

However, a review of coverage by national #TV news from December 31 through January 4 found that with one exception, cable news networks — CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC — and national broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — failed to link these events to our warming #climate."

#ClimateSilence kills. It's also complicity.

@yoguiignacio Agreed. The #ClimateSilence is deafening. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2022/12/24/why-winter-storm-elliott-is-more-new-normal-than-once-in-a-generation/

What do you call a long, “in-depth” article about a deadly superstorm followed by unprecedented heat that makes zero mention of #climatechange? Shoddy journalism?#ClimateSilence? @CNN surely you can do better. https://apple.news/AmosRv1j_Td6zg8wr8aJLnQ

(Here - I’ll give you some help. @Forbes at least is willing to acknowledge the cause of #winterstormelliott:
