leftist love to be terrified.

They sit around terrifying each other:
SPLC: "Hate Groups! (send money!!...)"
Assault Rifles! oooohhh.....
Uninhabitable Earth!!! .....O.M.G.!!!

it is the porn of the Left.

Oh my god!!!! We only have twelve years left on this planet! The Great Wise Prophet Ocazio-Corrrrrrtez cannot be wrong! "It's, like, super important, like" she eloquently proclaims. Wise words from a woman wise beyond her years! Better read all these books to terrify myself a little more! I might even write my own. The Horrific Cowfart Dillema, I will call it! Truly a FACTUAL story for the ages and a cautionary tale for the future generation that will be annihilated by all the cow methane in 12 years.

@1 Sorry--I was just re-reading the Book of Revelations, that right-wing disaster porn that's been predicting the End Of Everything for a thousand years or so.

Any way--what were you blathering about?

I tried reading The Windup Girl on three separate occasions, and put it down after just a couple chapters each time. I don't know why, I just couldn't get into it. But I had the good grace to actually try it first, and set it down without feeling the need to disparage the author, the person who recommended it to me, or anyone else that might read it.

If only that simple concept of decency were easy enough for anyone to grasp, but I see by the first two comments that I would be wrong to assume that.

thanks, that is the point;
the Left has become the religious fanatic anti-science doomsday nutwing of American society.

Great compilation here. Thank you, Erik Henriksen.

I got "The Uninhabitable Earth" as a gift. I don't believe I could quite stomach reading it myself. Is that a moral failing on my part? I don't know. I don't know that I need to be convinced to care/do any more about climate change than I already am. There was a New York TImes piece about the hell climate change is creating in Australia right now (not in some far-off future), and even that was too much for my fragile imagination.

I hadn't realized that "Games of Thrones" was also a prescient parable about climate change. Fascinating. And I know already, there's no way I can stomach watching that show. I figure there's no moral failing for that. Only FOMO failing.
