    There was a big brouhaha in the scientific press this week about an article that used slow-growing sponges to find that we're actually at around 1.7 C above the preindustrial baseline because warming had already started before our current reference period began.

    The pushback was "Well, it doesn't matter because our target was 1.5 C over the baseline that we're using." I can sympathize with that perspective a bit, but it really underscores that we're just guessing at when the consequences are going to start getting really severe. We're officially outside the global climate envelope that we evolved in and here there be dragons.

    Just look how happy the firefighter is to have more work. Climate activists hate firefighters.

    Yea, we're so fucking boned. We aren't even beginning to address climate change. I just feel empty. I barely even feel rage over everything we've lost for every future generation. Everyone around me is still frothing at the mouth over trans people getting gender affirming care and gives not a single shit about climate change if they "believe" in it at all. These people would call gravity "woke pc librul bullshit" if Isaac Newton was alive today

    Heat that shit up! I’m sick of having to use a stove to fry my eggs. I want to use the sidewalk.

    The sun: It’s free electricity!

    With this temperature reading, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.
