Over the last 50 years or so, I've pretty much gone through all of the reactions named in this article:

Man With Sign, April 18, 02025

It's a lovely morning — sunny, cool but not uncomfortably so. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and set up my big sign, position my speaker Just So, spread my bag on the guardrail as a place to sit, and hold up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS. Craige is still out for health reasons, and I'm worried about him.

I wake before the alarm and have a relaxed cup of coffee before setting out on this crisp and cool morning, arriving at Roosevelt Circle on the dot of 7:30. Craige is out again due to health concerns, so I'm a soloist. Today my hand-held sign reads WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL.

I'm a soloist this morning, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:29 and setting up my signs. It's cool but pleasant, the skies mostly cloudy with a few scattered patches of blue, a light wind blowing. Today's hand-held message is SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. Which it is.

The new right's obsession with Greenland and Canada's north isn't some fringe fantasy, it’s real estate logic, twisted through a lens of empire and extraction. When you zoom out and frame it through the lens of #climatechaos, it’s chillingly obvious, the Arctic is melting, and they see land, not crisis.

That AlphaGeo link paints the picture starkly. Climate-driven migration, shifting growing zones, and emerging "climate havens" aren’t theoretical anymore, they're data-driven land grabs in progress. And the political ambition to dominate those spaces? That's the second should be more obvious to us all.

It’s a gold rush for the apocalypse, a final frontier for the capitalist imagination. They aren’t trying to save anything; they’re just re-positioning to rule what's left. And yes, it's a children-who-want-to-be-kings fantasy: Trump-esque thinking where climate collapse becomes opportunity, borders become walls, and “winning” means inheriting a lifeboat while others drown.

This isn't climate denial anymore, it’s climate opportunism. That’s why adaptation can't just be technical, it has to be political. If we don’t shape the future, they are carving it up behind our backs in plain sight.

This makes you understand why trump and the new right in the USA won't Canada and Greenland https://alphageo.ai/explore/ they are lying, kinda shockingly obvious move for a real estate mindset. It's a #climatechaos gold rush for the children who want to become kings.

Worth a look for the #climatechaos we will see https://alphageo.ai/explore/

Tuesday is grey and warmer, with temperatures in the low 50s, a welcome change from the harsh cold of the past week. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and set up my big sign, then arrange myself on the guardrail, speaker connected, and hold up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Craige arrives a few minutes later.

On being a prat in tech and social spaces (Yes, this is likely about you )

The #OMN is not a product — It’s a path you walk

https://hamishcampbell.com/the-omn-is-not-a-product-its-a-path-you-walk/

The #OMN project is #DIY, it only works if communities of people actually build it. This isn’t a path of passive consumption; it’s a participatory direction. If people choose to sit on their hands, or act the prat and critique from the sidelines, the system doesn’t collapse… but it doesn’t grow either.

That said, even if the building doesn’t happen right away, there’s still deep value in the memory, the documents, the ideas, the patterns. It’s compost for future builders. If we can’t get our act together now, the next group will dig it up, learn from it, and build better.

Right now, for me, #makinghistory archiving project is a still-doable foundation, a living memory layer that gives us something solid to stand on. Without memory, we spin in circles around the same old #techshit heap, repeating mistakes, retelling the same half-lost stories, and falling into the same traps. That’s not progress, it’s rot.

We’re now working on bootstrapping this archive project as the first step. If we don’t remember soon, many of us, and our histories, will be lost in the storm of #climatechaos. In the end, if we don’t build, we don’t change.

Man With Sign, April 11, 02025

It's almost but not quite raining this morning, cold, grey, not particularly inviting. But my mood is calm and relatively sanguine as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:29 and setting up my signs. Today's message is EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED. No Craige again today; his health issues continue.

It's below freezing this morning, with temps in the mid-20s F and a light breeze that makes it feel even colder. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, and see Craige walking up a minute later as I'm clamping my sign to the post. He's been out for two days with minor health issues. Today's hand-held sign is CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS.

Tuesday is another day as a soloist. It's cold again, slightly rainy again, generally miserable again. And here I am again, without an umbrella, walking up to Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and setting up my signs. Again. Today's hand-held message is WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL, and if these ain't weird times I don't know what would qualify.

Craige is out this morning with a doctor's appointment, so it is as a soloist that I make my way to Roosevelt Circle in a not-quite-rain, arriving at 7:29 in a chilly morning with temps in the upper 30s F. I set up my signs, black side to the oncoming traffic, offering my wordless comment on the state of, well, pretty much everything.

Turning toward the big picture today. Is anyone minding the store anymore?

We must advance research into climate repair urgently, transparently and with the utmost scientific and ethical rigour. To do so, we must use our voices, collectively and courageously, before the choices are no longer ours to make. David King, Climate Crisis Advisory Group

#climatechaos requires radical work https://hamishcampbell.com/addressing-climatechaos-requires-a-radical-approach/ This applies to changing most #mainstreaming institutions and people, so we are left with “challenge” as the safe path.

Friday morning I wake a few minutes before the alarm, drink a quiet coffee at the kitchen table, and head out, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and setting up. Today's hand-held message is WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS. Craige arrives about 7:32 and we exchange a few pleasantries before settling into the vigil.

Man With Sign, April 3, 02025

Another viscerally unpleasant morning, with a cold rain coming down. It's not super heavy — in fact light enough that I leave my umbrella behind — but it makes up in spiteful chill what it lacks in volume. I arrive at 7:30 and set up; today's hand-held sign is 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY. Craige arrives a minute or two later.
