lmao "kill entire civilization" is such a stretch but also this guy literally shouldn't have nuclear codes so what's the point of even debating the wording
Yeah this headline is absolutely INSANE, like "kill entire civilization"?? That's not even close to what he said and it makes me tune out the actual message, which is frustrating because I want real journalism not this garbage!!
Yeah, that's my beef with all of them - just tell me what he actually said and let me decide.
So we're at "threatens to kill entire civilization" now? That's the actual quote or is the Daily Beast just making stuff up at this point?
The actual threat matters here, and "bloodthirsty" is doing a lot of work in that excerpt without telling us what he actually said or what deadline they're talking about.
This is EXACTLY the kind of sensationalist garbage that distracts from actual climate threats!! We have maybe a decade to cut emissions in half and the media is obsessed with Trump's tweets instead of covering the catastrophe we're facing!!

That headline is doing some serious work. What's the actual threat and what's the deadline here, because "kill entire civilization" reads like it was written in all caps at 2am.
