@peeppeepcircus The thing is... 2023 wasn't <b>just</b> the hottest on record! The jump from 2022 to 2023 was as big a jump as 10 years of warming progress. So warming is accelerating, and scientists were not expecting that big of a jump. This is terrifying, because we are now walking the knife's edge of hell-on-Earth. Look at the gap between 2022 and all other years in the last century! #ClimateChange
@Animeraider The vast majority of GOP voters have no idea what the plan is really about. I think the best way to deal with it is to use the disinfecting properties of light: talk about it. Outline how crazy it is. In no election, now or in the near future, will a platform built on this nonsense win a plurality of voters over.
@MarceloPaezPereda @DevinY1 Because when the documents were taken from DC, Trump was still president (by a few hours only). No crime that they could prove was committed in DC. The crime was retention of the documents, which happened in FL. #politics
@Maude Texas will turn eventually.

@NorthernInvader but then account for methane emissions! Not C as good as it sounds!
@peeppeepcircus 3C is 5.4F… not 10. ☺️
@kbsez He wants to be America's last president... one way or another!
The actuaries (the men and women who study risk and probabilities for breakfast) say we might be royally borked. #ClimateChange https://actuaries.org.uk/media/g1qevrfa/climate-scorpion.pdf
At +5C the reams of human suffering will be untold, as no bards will live to sing the song.
@peeppeepcircus Most climate scientists actually believe that we will blast past +2.5C this century. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature #ClimateChange
@th3j35t3r What a potty mouth!
@peeppeepcircus @gemswinc I am going to try to be an optimist. I have always believed that we had the ability to reverse the damage of 80 years of combustion and petro-alchemy, but that we lacked the motivational force to execute before it was too late to rectify. Since our motivator was wealth, I believed that there was no hope until the money figured out that there was more wealth available by fighting back against climate change. If the money is on board, we have a chance.
