If you’re a philosopher, this conceptual distinction is bizarre. Facts cannot be contrasted with opinions. Facts are how things are. Opinions are attempts to represent how things are. Opinions can either correspond to, or fail to correspond to, the facts.

No viable path left to 1.5C.
From today’s White House briefing: “Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year.”

That animals experience emotions will surprise few people, that they experience *moral* emotions is something else, though. @JamesHuttonPhil explains what that is all about: buff.ly/3xHaYlu

"It would follow that the ability to perceive the world in moral terms isn’t unique to human beings but shared by other members of the animal kingdom." - @JamesHuttonPhil in @NautilusMag
