@CharityDanell [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [03]: @Bulldog665 @DVATW Good enough to get the Left and #Woke to bully @BorisJohnson into more free stuff for migrants! Free NHS. Now they’re asking for free TV licences, etc. Free means we pay or service reduces. Don’t moan about delay for your hip replacement, cataracts, etc. If you cheered for this! [URL redacted]

Context #EDUUSWilliamCareyInternationalUniversityEdenVigilLowellBliss "The Unemployed Climate Activist (henceforth called a 'UCA') is a term that I coined after the release of a recent Harris Poll of Americans which shows that concerns about climate change has plummeted. Whereas in December 2019, climate change registered first among the most important issues facing society, now it is considered second-to-last on a list of a dozen concerns. So, where am I supposed to position myself, a UCA, in MacKay's cartoon? I too am based in Canada on that vulnerable stretch of sand bar. I too feel the threat of the pandemic and the recession. But as a climate activist, is it my job to climb to the top of his sandcastled CN Tower and yell out to Canadians, 'Now, as I was saying about global warming . . .'? There are a number of features in MacKay's cartoon that a climate activist would find familiar. I feel the vulnerability of our cities in the face of sea-level rise and other climate change impacts. I have agonized over the immensity of those impacts, racing toward our shores 'about to wreak havoc on humanity.' Small individual measures--like handwashing during a pandemic, or recycling during an ecological crisis--are important, but are not commensurate responses to the impending challenges. Every climate activist knows we also need action on the governmental and global level. We need to go big and go fast. But how is my voice on climate change to be heard above the crash of the immediate COVID-19 and recession waves?" https://www.edenvigil.org/eden-vigil-blog/2020/8/19/the-confused-cartoonist-and-the-unemployed-climate-activist [jpg] #MetaphorSpatialStormTsunami #SymbolEmblemFlagCACanada #ToponymAmericaNorthCanada #MagazineFortuneWillJohnson "Battered by pandemic and economic collapse, do Americans have the capacity to care about the environment? Not so much, judging by a national poll we just conducted. We asked a panel of U.S. adults a series of questions about today's most crucial issues, environmental policy options, and their own behavior. In all three categories, I was personally surprised and discouraged to discover that our devotion to the world around us is flagging. In a survey we at the Harris Poll conducted last December, American adults said climate change was the number one issue facing society. Today, it comes in second to last on a list of a dozen options, ahead of only overpopulation. Among Gen X men, in fact, more than third dismiss climate change as unimportant. COVID-19 and the recession have, of course, reordered priorities around the world. Still, the coronavirus didn't elbow aside other issues as muscularly as it did climate change. (Incidentally, global warming is a bigger concern to retirement-age women than any other age group except millennial men.)" https://fortune.com/2020/08/10/climate-change-global-warming-coronavirus/ #PhenomnClimateChangeEmergency
