I had read that it's past the time when we can save the Great Barrier Reef, at least according to the advisory committee.
This is, word for word, what I was going to post. Hi comment twin!
As much of the South bakes, Phoenix blazed past a milestone set half a century ago for consecutive days with 110-degree or higher temperatures.
"We are damned fools": scientist who sounded climate alarm in 80s warns of worse to come
James Hansen, who testified to Congress on global heating in 1988, says world is approaching a ‘new climate frontier’
"Damned" being the operative word.
It's this kind of stuff that makes me lose hope.
Europe and the US are sweltering in 40C heat - what should you do if you're visiting this summer?
We're having heatwaves all around the world. What does the BBC, one of the most respected news organizations, do? Well of course they posted an article about what to do if your vacation is interrupted by heatwaves!

Extreme heat is the engine of planetary chaos. We ignore it at our peril.
I was all set to report. Ooooo, I was gonna do it. But then I was surprised and delighted and now I love you.
Wait, but…SuicideGirls is just a site full of naked women with tattoos and piercings. It doesn't have anything to do with actual suicide.
I'm an Apollo user, but still. It's a sad night. Why am I so sad?
Maybe it's because I'm so lonely, and Reddit provided a bright little spark to fill the darkness. And it did that for like 16 years for me. And now it's gone.
RIP.

I am so exhausted over climate grief.
Yesterday I went on a gorgeous hike, and I saw tons of insects. Baby frogs, dozens of them! Orioles and pelicans. It was lovely.

This is the first oriole I've seen in a couple of years; is it my last one?"
It's like we're living in a nightmare.

What?! Blasphemy!
I use mine to make bean soups and chilis and stews, and stuff comes out fantastic.
