It pretty much all tipped back in the Industrial Revolution, and tipped much farther when nitrogen fertilizer began to be made directly from petroleum. At least if we care about original causes more than downstream effects.

The Democratic Party has shown very clearly that they would much rather lose to Republicans than allow their own platform to be dragged any more than just a tiny bit to the left.
Crab? Yes. Yours? I'm not so sure.
Trump torpedoed him earlier in the day with a post on his own social network saying that Emmer never really supported him or the MAGA view of things, accused him of being a "globalist" and a Republican in Name Only and mentioned he had voted to certify the 2020 presidential election result. In short, Trump made sure everyone knew the guy was only Lawful Evil and not batshit crazy, therefore unqualified to lead the GOP.
I've seen the same thing in east Texas and western Louisiana too (twenty years ago though, haven't been in that region since)
Not to say all Muslims want to do violent things; but I believe the logic is that as a Jewish person, one should probably stay as far away from areas heavily populated by Muslim folks who may or may not have a couple brothers, cousins, and uncles who want to stone you to death or some other awful thing.... As possible.
... You didn't want to say that but you wanted to imply it, apparently -- and to imply it so clearly that it's difficult to imagine you intending anything else.
Just FYI there's already a long-standing plan in place to test the same earthquake alert system tomorrow. Hopefully millions of people aren't just about to have a very jaded reaction to the system being fired for no major quake two days in a row, even though that's only an unfortunate coincidence. There may be no way to avoid exactly that happening, unless they reschedule tomorrow's test.
Exactly: i was reading more details provided by the USGS and the alert system, and apparently magnitude 5 is the current cutoff. They are exploring options such as including location or timing guesses in the alerts and they're taking input on this.
Edit: if you follow this USGS link and fill out a brief anonymous report about where you were and whether you felt anything, toward the end there's a place you can click to open optional additional questions about how the alert reached you, whether you found the alert helpful, and what ways you might like to see future earthquake alerts improved or contain more information. Also whether you feel they should be sent for a lower or higher minimum magnitude threshold.

There's no way we will stop in time for +2°C.
I get that same autocorrect! "shears" when I was trying to write "always"!
My comment was a bit of a simplified hot take. And your perfectly valid reasons are why I didn't also throw housing and food right in there in the same take.
You're right. I made a pretty ridiculous error of laziness writing "directly" when what I ought to have said was more along the lines of indirectly, essentially, etc. As far as I understand it, agriculture at its current scale requires a level of nitrogen input (via ammonia) that can only be supplied by the Haber process, which requires an amount of energy that we have no hope of generating by entirely renewable and sustainable means.
