Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little.

I really wish our the wealthy in our world weren't choosing mass death
@cutesobri @alienghic @ZLabe Most people, of any class, don't really think that much about the future.
But many of the wealthiest are well aware of possible cataclysms, and are devoting energy to gathering power (even via fossil fuels) and preparing for collapse. Sometimes without even pretending to join in efforts to, y'know, actually head off the worst.

Yeah I've read both the article and the book.
