Fascinating and depressing. It beggars belief that this is even a thing! And also that the Billy Big Balls corporations haven't rushed to corner a new market to profit obscenely from renewable energy?
Had another uncomfortable climate change conversation with a Florida relative.

I came across an article recently that focused on the life of a welder in Basura Iraq. Basically an infographic on what happens to the human body when exposed to intense heat.
If anyone can send me the link to this article I would appreciate very much.
