The record loss was 2022. The ice never came back. It is devastating. Instead of ice coming back, 2025 came very close to same devastating loss.

Fortunately, when climate change causes devastating food shortages I'll have the competitive advantage over climate change deniers of being orders of magnitude smarter than they are.

Almost every scenario of hell has happened over the past 4.5b years to our planet. A bunch of those were extinction events. If we manage to speed run 10s of millions of years of nature in 200k years humanity, then we are indeed very special.

I’m having a hard time contributing anything intellectually interesting. This is emotionally terrifying to me. What can be said?

I guess we can hope America starts taking climate change seriously again instead of chasing short term stock market returns
