    Interesting that it could be read not only as a climate change joke, but also a disinformation joke, given what she’s reading from.

    People seem to not realize that the government wasn’t the one burning books in Fahrenheit 451…

    Edit: Been awhile for me - but this does not seem to be true.

      You know it’s been a while since I’ve read that book, but I’m pretty positive that isn’t true.

        Ah, it’s been a long time for me as well and I think I may have picked that idea up somewhere and must have found it attractive enough to supplant the obvious part…

        Guess it’s time to re-read!

          I have read it relatively recently, and you’re not completely off. The people democratically decided to outlaw books because their society sucked.
