@arstechnica WW3 unfolding before our eyes and Arstechnica posts this.

I guess some really did fiddle while Rome burned

@mHtt @arstechnica if it was just a problem for skiers maybe, but the lack of snow pack foreshadows big regional problems with irrigation, power supply and fire hazard over the coming year.
Climate change has consequences.
Of course emissions from the war in the Middle East will not be helping going forward.

@mHtt @arstechnica well because of this it'll be the west coast that's burning this summer, not rome

I have been reducing re using and recycling since the 80's and just gotta shrug sometimes.

Sure we destroyed PARADISE - but didn't we ALSO made lots of profit for shareholders?
