just responding to some fan mail #climatechange

Q climate, this is war. Okay, let's start at the beginning. I'm a climate scientist helping you understand the changing planet we all share. And I just made a YouTube video which received this quite heated [snorts] response. I don't think you realize how much your opposition is resolved to fight you net zero holes till the dying [ __ ] end. You [ __ ] want to tell everyone on Earth how to live. Don't give a [ __ ] what the science says. You [ __ ] Oxford [ __ ] go [ __ ] yourself. Okay, well, I can agree that I am a [ __ ] Oxford [ __ ] But this was all in response to the fact that climate scientists use different scenarios to imagine what humans might end up doing when it comes to burning fossil fuels. And it turns out that the worst-case scenario that we've been using is no longer accurate because we're not burning quite as much fossil fuels as we thought we might. Now, this is good news, but we're still nowhere near on track to limit climate change to relatively safe levels. In response to this, climate deniers like President Donald Trump are using this tiny bit of climate progress to argue against making any kind of climate progress. And it's probably the mention of Donald Trump in this video that got this one viewer particularly triggered. But all jokes aside, this is the kind of message that people who talk about climate change publicly often get. And that's obviously a lot worse for women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. The intention of messages like this is to silence people like me, and I have to admit there is a part of me that reads a message like this and does get a little bit shaken up by it. But rest assured, I am not going anywhere. And if you don't want to go anywhere either, make sure you follow learn from more.
