That was one of your best posts ever Eliot, Hayhoe really fries my bacon!

Those were the days my friend...

Going up quickly! Reminds me of an old expression, "faster than a knife fight in a phone booth."

Post-doom A foreboding doom sense of climate chaos and societal breakdown is now widespread. Global Industrial Civilization is collapsing from overshoot and taking the biosphere we depend on for life down with ...
