Almost as if the climate in general has changed somewhat.
Thanks, I couldn't remember whether this last/first happened in 2023 or 2024. Remember people taking pictures in Times Square then of even more yellow/orange skies? I saw several people wearing masks outside today. I've got to get some (walking, exercise, etc.) as this is the new normal*
`* (things won't stay this bad they will only get worse. It's useful remembering that ~50% of all fossil fuels we've ever burned were burned in like the last 15 years)
If things are only going to get worse, there’s no need to bother dealing with climate change. We’re already defeated.
We can still change how much worst it'll get.

What’s your solution? I’ll wait.
Nuclear, wind, residential solar, residential storage, electric personal vehicles, electric mass transit, stop subsidizing oil and gas to the tune of >10B CAD per year, absolutely devastating taxes on petro fuel expansion, sanctions against countries who refuse to do the same.
Good, they are actively trying to fuck over the planet to make a buck.
Those are all good ideas but how would you implement them?
I’m not sure what you’re quoting because I didn’t mention BRICS.
