It’s April and I am sweating like crazy, it fucking sucks, but it also got me wondering what can I do? There is so much conflicting advice out there, even if I tell others about this, when they ask for a solution what do I tell?

It's weird how 'not giving up' got us penicillin and earthquake warnings, so I'd hope we do a little more than "we won't. Oh well."

We are making progress down paths that could shorten the correction after all the CO² and methane is removed from the atmosphere, and it seems important to explore the potential -- as many as we can, actually, as science often fails.

comming

I may need a translation. Related to comms, like in communications?

comming

It's a typo of coming. As in the word "come" or "to arrive".

I guess we could build a gigantic airconditioner and solve the problem that way....

It boils down to cash.

Companies can make money off penicillin. Governments can readily allocate funds to visible, common disasters.

Disasters that have been a century in the making and require whole nations to change the way they do things for an observable result decades down the line is almost impossible to get money for. Our shortsightedness is our downfall

CO²

I may need a translation. CO² like in E = mc²? What is the square of oxygen?
