We are witnessing, in real time, the collapse of civilization.

It's pretty f&%king horrible, even for a doomer who knew this was coming eventually, I've got to say.

The reality is that the climate is going to sucker-punch Musk & Trump this summer:

No matter what they do or don't do on behalf of "government efficiency", it is going to be very small compared to what the planet's mix of fire, hurricanes, drought, heat and floods has in store for them.

For anyone who wants to make a bet on the end of the world with a friend, relative or work colleague:

My estimate on passing 2.0°C above the pre-industrial baseline is no earlier than 2035 and no later than 2040. So, take the "Under" on 2040 and the "Over" on 2035.
