NY Times author suggests maybe climate change advocates shouldn’t be screechy lunatics – By John Sexton (Hot Air) / Mar 31 2023
I saw some people making fun of this earlier on Twitter and while I can see why, I think the actual message of this little story isn’t so bad. All you need to know here is that the NY Times has a vertical called “Modern Love” which includes a bunch of these little personal essays about love, romance, parenthood, etc. It has been around for a while and recently it has expanded to other formats.
For 15 years, Modern Love has brought personal essays about love, loss and redemption to readers of The New York Times. Four years ago, it became a podcast. And now the column has inspired an eight-episode series on Amazon Prime Video.
Anyway, today’s essay is a woman’s personal account about how she had a complete freakout at her boyfriend over the kerosene lamp he used on his sailboat. One night he bumped his head on the lamp and spilled some of the fuel and she suggested maybe it was time to get an LED lamp instead. He said no.
