This is for your interest, at the civilian level. It pretty well

Haven't watched much of this one yet. It really does not begin until around 27 minutes plus some seconds. This is the one the furor, whatever furor there is, is about, showing which side the majority are really on here.

P.S. I'd been planning the above. I checked the news, and there is a new, more authoritative, even more up to date, and worse than ever before, climate disaster report just out. I've no idea at the moment what I might have to say about it, if anything. I won't bother with repeating the article titles, just this once.
