Must every frontpage post contain an element of surprise?
I submitted it as a reminder that climate change is still occurring, there's still research being done, and is still an issue we globally need to address.
Climate change has not been surprising for decades. But it remains important.

- psim1 6y agoIf sincere about your question: what do you think? Note that I did not say it was not being addressed. But work obviously remains.
- at-fates-hands 6y ago> Note that I did not say it was not being addressed That's exactly what you said: > and is still an issue we globally need to address. When you say something "needs to be addressed" it means to give attention to or deal with a matter or problem. Your initial statement inferred nothing was being done and attention needed to be given to the problem. If you actually meant what you wrote in your response, then why not just say that? As opposed to inferring that nothing is being done?
- phaemon 6y agoThey didn't imply (not "infer") that nothing was being done. They implied that not enough was being done and more attention needed to be given to the problem. That seems reasonable, doesn't it?
