“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Tornadoes: Hyperobject's Punishment for Bad Faith


Tornadoes in April are now twice as frequent as they were half a century ago. Inside of global warming, weather effects such as this are known to amplify. The trouble is, tornado formation in the moment is a non-linear affair. It's hard to know when one will form until it's pretty much forming. And correlating them precisely to global warming will take careful sifting and statistical analysis.

But if Pat Robertson can say unspeakable things about 9/11, I can say things about tornadoes in denier country.
