::: spoiler Discussion of offensive racial language
There's a similar distinction with "black" in regards to race. Referring to someone as a black person or people as black folks is largely acceptable. Referring to someone as a "black" or people as "blacks" on the other hand sounds old fashioned at best and actively dehumanizing at worst.
This might be a regional thing. For reference I grew up in Oklahoma and "quite a bunch" seems natural and familiar. In British English quite has the opposite meaning so I could see why it wouldn't make sense in that context. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't sound right to other Americans due to regional linguistic differences.
KBJ is a justice on the federal supreme court. Having six conservatives on the court and three liberals is better than 7 2 but I don't know that it amounts to much. Would be better if he'd pack the court, or even threaten to.
But have you done anything about what you know? An individual can't have a significant effect but collectively we can. The article suggests people join a local climate change activism group. If you can't volunteer, donate. If you can't donate, talk to your friends about joining. And if you can't do any of that just try to stay alive cause you're in a rough fucking spot right now.
The article recommends collective action. Join a group of people passionate, read terrified, and actively working to make a difference. Find a local group and soothe you're anxiety with the knowledge you're doing what you can. Also feel free to read How to Blow Up a Pipeline if you're feeling spicy.

Honest question? If joke, I don't get it.
Our protagonist meets Tyler Durden on a plane. They start a conversation, and Tyler talks a bit about his work as a soap salesman. Later in the movie we learn he uses human fat from a liposuction clinic to make it. Later still, we find out the process of making soap creates nitroglycerin he uses to make a bomb. That's all I remember about soap in that movie.
Folks for groups and friend for individuals is my go to. Comrade if you want to be spicy
The article describes several strategies to reduce albedo and each one has significant knockdown effects that could cause significant ecological problems beyond just a warning climate.
