Canadians are running out of excuses for our sky-high emissions. Not only is the EU cutting emissions as a group, but every one of its 27 member nations (except the tiny island nation of Cyprus) has as well.
Just to make sure I’ve pissed off everyone, it’s not boomers buying Temu every week. Climate change is a very abstract, slow moving problem, and if I had to guess humans just have a limit.
The funny thing is, we talk mad shit about frogs, but they actually will jump out of a pot that gets too warm - although they probably don’t think too deeply about it, as much as they just get uncomfortable.
At least in the original experiment, anyway. According to Wikipedia, later Victorian authors claimed it always worked, but modern scientists think that’s huey. Ponds can and do get slowly too hot in nature, so it’d be weird if that was just lethal.
Totally. The Me Last generation.

Yeah in the experiment that is often referenced; the frogs had to be lobotomised to stop them just jumping out of the pot whenever they felt like it.

Agreed. I don’t mean age in ‘generation’ but rather our collective selfishness across age lines.
