It still amazes me that Hurricane Helene hit Florida, Georgia and Carolina and those states still voted for a Climate Change Denier

Wow, I hadn't seen that.

There is a tsunami coming in the workplace, you can already buy a humanoid robot for $16k (1), which is less than the cost of an employee. When these robots can become actually useful (instead of marketing material) businesses who use labour will not think twice about swapping over. What do we do when unemployment goes up to 25%, 50% etc

We should aim for 1.6 next, every fraction of a degree makes a difference

Although the report also says they expect us to hit 3.1 based on current trends

640k should be enough for anyone too

Warmer air can hold more water, so humidity increases. It also drives stronger winds...
