Think that this is a bit of stretch. If Keanu Reeves wanted me to pitch my latest script idea to him in person, I would postpone my open heart surgery. so yeah, 'whenever'.

When I hear the word evasive being bandied about, it implies dishonesty of some kind. Pretty sure that's really not the case.

"My calendar is open and up-to-date, feel free to schedule some time that works for both of us."

And if they're not inside my Company?

"Here's the link to my Calendar. Feel free to find some time that's convenient."

If your Company uses Microsoft 365, Outlook Web will give you a public link to the free/busy view of your Calendar that you can share. I have it in my Email signature.

None of those are on the scale of PLANETARY FAILURE.

Nuclear weapons are human operated instantaneously, and disease you can quarantine, there are methods to stop transmission that can be done on a personal level.

Again, climate change is something that will affect the entire planet. We don't have anything else. There's no magic fix that tech can offer us. There's no other planet to escape to. We have this, or nothing.

Definitely not my go-to first response, but I've been known to tell my SO to google whatever question he has on occasion. Those occasions being when we're driving home after work and I'm plugging away on my phone at something I've wanted to get done all day, but couldn't because of work, and he decides he needs to ask many questions in succession. I will try to answer them as much as I can, but it does sometimes land on "I don't know, you should probably google that". Which usually gets a me "Okay, you're not driving, you google it." Which... yes, I could, in fact google it to give him the satisfaction of the answer right then and there, but I am also very obviously doing something and the thing that I am doing is not less important than some random piece of information you decided you needed to know thirty seconds ago.

So, like many have said, definitely not a go-to response in general conversation, but plausible in some situations.
