      It’s the scientific community giving an exasperated “we’re fucked”, my guy.

      It’s all outliers and constant “once a century” weather events these days.

        Yup. These are expert scientists with their hands up in the air explaining how this shit is exponentially hitting the fan.

        This is an inflection point. The fire alarms are blaring.

        They should get every penny of funding available to deal with this.

          It’s not just about funding the scientists; it’s about defunding the pollution (e.g. quit massively subsidizing roads and parking).
