    Which is part of the problem… TEN YEARS after we’ve breached 1.5 degrees, we might be committed to do something.

      We haven’t reached 1.5 degrees on the ten year average, so there’s no need to act. When we get there, there will be no point in acting because it’ll be too late. How could we possibly have seen this coming - it’s not like scientists have been screaming it at us for the last half century…

      Can’t change it through advocacy or direct action, can’t hold those responsible to account, but can’t roll over and die - Guess I’ll bitch about it online as I struggle to afford a house in the economy fucked by the same class interests that doomed the species.
