Never mind the climate change topic.
The connection between comedy and problem solving could be instructive for us all.
Maybe we can get a prominent comedian to take up the cause!
Yes, comedy enhances our lives in myriad ways both in problem solving and survival generally, laughter lightens loads.
Remember George Carlin’s Hippy-Dippy Weatherman? It will rain in the east and duststorms in the west…in the middle we’ll have MUDD!
Remember Redd Foxx and the new soap
IDEA…
How about a change from DEI to DIE…as in let this cultural carbunkle F’in DIE!
DEI or DIE – either way this nonsense is on the way to the scrapheap of history.
For instance see:

Such a great article above. This: “But whatever term you use, what’s clear is that it has gained power in a conceptual instrument called diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.
In theory, all three of these words represent noble causes. They are in fact all causes to which American Jews in particular have long been devoted, both individually and collectively. But in reality, these words are now metaphors for an ideological movement bent on recategorizing every American not as an individual, but as an avatar of an identity group, his or her behavior prejudged accordingly, setting all of us up in a kind of zero-sum game.
We have been seeing for several years now the damage this ideology has done: DEI, and its cadres of enforcers, undermine the central missions of the institutions that adopt it. But nothing has made the dangers of DEI more clear than what’s happening these days on our college campuses—the places where our future leaders are nurtured.”
