The remarkable concurrence of three dramatic climate events:

  1. Antarctic sea ice extent now over 2 million kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean
  2. global 2-meter surface temperatures breached the 1.5°C barrier for the third consecutive day
  3. WTF is happening to the world’s oceans, and in particular the North Atlantic? Ocean temperatures have been setting unprecedented daily records, spiking to highs that are shocking climate scientists, as they look for possible reasons.

    Couldn’t have happened to a nicer species.

    My only saving grace is that I’m middle aged and don’t have all that much life left in front of me due to rapidly failing health. And if things do get bad enough during my lifetime, I’ll simply kill myself – my tolerance for extra bullshit at this point is essentially zero, and having to endure climate disaster bullshit caused by the pig-headed idiocy of other people is out of the question.

      Hey, still, despite everything, I hope you find some joy in the time you (we) have left. Take a breather and seek comfort in the smaller, closer, less abstract things. Love will only burn with the last human, and until then I try to give as much of it as I can. We’re all just lost confused children, yelling out into the void.
