4. Trust me, I find disingenuous claims to give a shit tiresome.

I'm quite sure that there are people disinterested in what I find tiresome just as I am disinterested in finding what they find tiresome.

Sometimes I hear from tiresome people pretending to give a shit about the collapse of the planetary atmosphere but clueless enough to call practical insights "zealotry," about a desire for answers to simple questions.

In general these sorts require simplicity because they are incapable of nuanced thought, and certainly devoid of any perspectives on say, engineering, nuclear, chemical, electrical, environmental or otherwise. I seldom see any in this class who show any evidence of having read a technical treatise or paper of any kind.

I note with some disgust that there are right wing assholes who call interest in climate science the province of "zealots." As in the former case, in general they reveal themselves to be fools.
