Ships can’t pass through Panama Canal because it’s closing due to climate changes. Meanwhile, ships are avoiding the Suez Canal, burning a whole lot more fuel and hastening the climate changes. Pretty neat relationship between those two canals.
If only we could have foreseen this supposed ‘climate change’ and its effects somehow. Also, maybe it’s a good thing we can’t ship cherries halfway around the world in the off season. Maybe not, but maybe.
But that would risk the profits of the shareholders. Won’t someone think about the poor shareholders?

I’m thinking of eating them. Does that count?
Nobody saw this coming. Nobody.
I mean, well, 99.999999% of scientists did I guess.
But nobody els… Actually, there were a bunch of climate protests, and that girl that won that Nobel peace prize…
But probably nob… Ah, but like, now that I’m thinking about it… Most sane people in the world have been screaming about this for a few decades or so.
But hey, for a brief moment in time, we created a lot of value for our shareholders.
