The planet is on track to heat up at a much faster rate than scientists have predicted, meaning a key global warming threshold could be breached this decade, according to a new study co-authored by James Hansen — the scientist credited with being the first to sound the alarm on the climate crisis.

Dude I even cut my soda can holders so birds and fish don't get stuck, what more can I do about it? The rich believe they can materialize food and water after no food grows anymore, so they won't stop producing carbons any time soon. We're ultra fucked unless we develop carbon scrubbers soon. They'll probably sell them to us in a household version.

We're not the issue, the rich are. Our footprint is hilariously small when compared with any multimillionaire.

For now, we need to vote and spread awareness.
