Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.

Wooooo! We are so back!

Gorgeous! You do the shadows so well!

I sort of am, because I’ve been kind of forced into the role, being the only person in my immediate family and one of relatively few in my extended family to have left the Catholic Church.

Oof, you got me with this one. I’m visiting family for Memorial Day weekend, and the relentless misgendering is wearing on me. Tbf, I can’t blame them, because I haven’t come out to any of them yet

It was a conscious decision. After the Second World War, the US needed somewhere to shift all of the manufacturing that had been built for the war effort. So cities were deliberately designed to keep houses away from jobs away from shops, so you need a car to get around, inducing a market for the personal car that never should have existed.
