  1. Politicians and billionaires will just keep denying the greatest threat to humanity while building bunkers and armies of robots.

  2. “CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million (ppm) to reach 423.9 ppm, the WMO has said. This is the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957 and is well in excess of the 2022 to 2023 increase of 2.3 ppm.”
    so about a 50% increase year on year

  3. I cannot control politicians, industry or billionaires. But I have chipped away at my own 30 tons of CO2. Gardening, planting trees, dramatically reducing the energy I use, and heating with a rocket mass heater. No sacrifice – everything is about making a better life AND it happens to chip away at my CO2. I think I am now in the space of chipping away CO2 for others.

  4. I was kinda tired of having a relatively stable climate for the last 100k years or so anyway. Time to shake things up.

  6. Seeing this pop up in between all of the depressing political news makes it really hard to go about my day without a sense of dread. I almost envy the ignorant
