oh good
How could we ever know what the weather was like 1000 years ago.

If we just put up hundreds of thousands of giant data centers, I’m sure the machines will think of a way to solve this problem.

Snow baby snow. It’s gonna snow in Vegas. Snow baby snow.
So Keffe D killed Tupac I guess?

That’s been speculated for a long time. No surprise.
Who knew that it would be a bad idea to write a book about committing a famously unsolved crime that has no statute of limitations?

This principal who evacuated the school had 13 minutes from the first warning to to when the debris flow arrived. Luckily only kids age 11 and up were in the school at the time. The little ones were on the way in buses. If there had been hundreds of little kids it might have been tough to get them all to safety in time. You’d have to tell all the high school kids - grab a little one and run.
He’s 6’5", which would make that woman ridiculously tall.
It might be what he looks like without a wig, if he wears one, but no that’s not a real photo. That’s a doctored photo from an event he attended a few days ago.
So that woman is over 6’. Probably wearing heels.
Google has her (his wife) at 5’10". He’s 72, so he also could be starting to shrink. She has also seemingly not aged at all - she’s 54.
Hundreds of millions of dollars can really fight aging.
Also Howard would never wear a wig, everyone knows it’s a hair system.

@Mr_Unstoppable Looks like Marie will be no threat to land.
dang what a let down, I live in the perfect place to be swept away by flood waters too
Looks like the waves will be pumping with good conditions though!

So anyway, this report is a doozy:
“This is among the bleakest U.N. climate reports I have read. It carries the unmistakable tone of desperation, frustration and urgency — but not resignation,” Weaver said.
Climate scientist Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics, said that “although UNEP does a good job of describing the hole we’ve dug ourselves into, it does a poor job of showing us that there’s a way out.”
Governments need to increase efforts to adapt to worsening warming, which hits the poor hardest, “because some impacts simply cannot be avoided,” Andersen said.
The report calls this phase “coping and containment.”
After a period of over-the-limit warming, the new strategy envisions getting back below the limit by ending fossil fuel use and developing some kind of way to suck industries’ carbon dioxide out of the air.
Literally the plan is to hope someone invents magic that gets rid of the CO2, anyway. Great work Boomers and Gen-X, we’ve spent decades doing jack shit while we burn the place down. With any luck the AI boom will be the big killshot for our planet’s ecosystems.
