I keep suggesting people stop moving to the US deserts, but it looks like #Brazil is in really deep trouble.

“5 Billion people will face extreme heat [for] at least a month each year by 2050”

Climate mini-rant coming...

When the seas are boiling and the sky is on fire, don't come crawling to science looking for help.

#Science has tried to help us for decades. Science saw this coming, crafted solutions, and shouted them from the rooftops. Those in power did not listen.

So, go pick a god and pray to it.

Appeal to the Kardashians.

Maybe Lebron James or Elon Musk will help.

Perhaps a podcast will intervene and save us,
