I'm laughing too or else I'd have to cry.
Maybe it will be harder to ignore (as a society, I mean. Obviously the Oil Fucks are fully aware of everything) when every community is enduring a different "once-in-a-millenia" weather event every other week. Honestly though, there is so much to say on the matter right now that it's too overwhelming. All I can say is, the wake-up call is obviously coming faster than even the best experts predicted and we are so incredibly unprepared even psychologically for the unprecedented climate catastrophe that is starting to really unfold. Every time we analyze the situation it is alarmingly clear that the situation isn't just "worse than we thought", it's also becoming increasingly unpredictable.
That being said, I refuse to be doomer about it! I don't have the luxury anyway.
