    Yeah there was an agreement in Paris in 2015, and the one of the first things Trump did when elected to office was to back out of that deal. Never trust an (unsuccessful) business man to choose what is best for people, they only care about making more money for themselves and to hell with all the people that die or get hurt along the way.

      We rejoined in 2021.

      The doomer view is that even that agreement is too little too late.

      Once the boat sinks we all go into the water. But it’ll take a while so for now cognac is still being served on the upper decks.

    Clearly politicians continue to know more than climate scientists. I mean, numbers going up is a good thing, right?

    We are so fucked.

      We are indeed well and truly fucked.

      I do wonder how bad it’s going to get before we actually react. Clearly we need to change our entire tax system to be based on carbon expenditure. That’ll both tax wealth more, so it’s progressive, and drive towards efficiency. The age of flying for a holiday, should all but end. Maybe a once in a lifetime thing, rather than once or twice a year.

      But nothing will change. Poor people will die. Rich people will continue to sip champagne while they fly over the people wallowing in the dust-bowl below.

      Don’t we deserve it if we keep voting for those kind of politicians, and reject the ethical ones?

    If “Don’t Look Up” taught me something, is that environmental change is doomed to fail short of a civil war.
