Meanwhile, In the Real World

A week of heatwaves that were entirely predictable

The UK is about to go over 35C for three days in a row. We are at a global warming increase of 1.5C, and temperatures are now rising by 0.4C a decade, meaning we will be hitting 2C in ten years. Meaning the UK’s wiring, roads, railway lines and housing will be melting, subsiding and heading underwater.
…
And yes, to round it off, Starmer sat back and allowed judges to give years-long sentences to the most courageous members of the younger generation — people who took proportionate peaceful action to force reality onto the agenda, and who are going to have to spend their whole lives dealing with this shit.
At the very minimum, to make any real difference, the UK has to get to zero emissions by 2035. Pretending otherwise is the purest of pure bullshit.
Entirely predictable
When the Nazis saw thousands of tanks coming over the horizon in 1944, they thought it was “nothing short of astonishing.”
Since then, everyone else has thought it was entirely predictable.
There’s a real world out there. It was coming to kill Nazis in the past. It is coming to kill our children in the very near future.
