"World's first year-long breach of key 1.5C warming limit"
Will this focus minds? Probably not.
@hesgen if UK government is anything to go by, the response has been to try to speed up heating the planet so multimillionaires can all become billionaires before they retreat into their bunkers to leave us to drown and or burn.
So yes is had focused the mind but not in a good way. Unclear if the potential replacement hasn't just decided to adopt the same approach.
@epistatacadam They're going to terraform Mars. Oh yes.
@epistatacadam Oh, and they've seen the movie. They can grow potatoes in human shit. Oh yes indeedy.
@hesgen into a barren lifeless planet, like they're doing to Earth?
@epistatacadam @hesgen Musk may want to build a Mars bunker, so the fossil fuels billionaires don't eat him in their Earthen luxury bunkers.
If either solicit us to build them Thorium bunkers, we'll sabotage both with unicorns and glitter.
@hesgen poisonous atmosphere short of water, swirling dust clouds driven by hurricane force winds, certainly no picnic. They're welcome, to enjoy it whilst they starve.
