  • but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.

    That’s no problem.
    The protests that brought down East Germany weren’t that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn’t exist back then. Most didn’t even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
    Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.

    The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

    Now you know what to do:
    Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.



  • Song says it appears that the world’s oceans are losing their ability to dissipate heat from the surface into the deep ocean.

    But isn’t it obvious that there’s a limit how much heat the oceans can store? Actually it can only get rid of it by emitting it into the atmosphere/space.
    Additionally the hotter the water gets the more energy it emits which should slow down the net energy absorption.
    As those two effects are opposites of each other there should be an equilibrium temperature where they cancel each other out. Currently it seems the oceans are a bit away from that equilibrium. It should swing the other way in a few decades or so. The oceans are big that’s why it takes time for change to manifest.

    For me it sounds like the journalist didn’t really understood, what Song researched or tried to make a click bait article.
