okay, not a joke, but a very positive spin on it.

And I know you want to adapt to it, my own advice about it is not to adapt though, but instead start to fight.

How you are going to do that without a real democracy I have no solution for

Where USA and Mr Trump represent the opposite, no democracy just people tired of what they've seen so far, manipulated by wet dreams of a long gone American golden age

The newest country in the world, isn't it? The last populated by us in Europe, the great wilderness, if we just ignore those native Indians already there.

No wilderness about it any longer, but they still need to realize it.

" Satellite data and numerical modelling revealed that more than a fifth of the global ocean darkened between 2003 and 2022, reducing the band of water that life reliant on sunlight and moonlight can thrive in. The effect is evident across 75m sq km (30m sq miles) of ocean, equivalent to the land area of Europe, Africa, China and North America combined, and disturbs the upper layer of water where 90% of marine species live."

The same place where migrations and extinctions are deemed to be somewhere around twice the ones we meet on land. Finding the same problems with (marine) heatwaves and their 'local weather' as us above. Also where that figure should accelerate in the next decade.

Still think you're on a infinite world? Of infinite reaches, and infinite resources?

Well, get that fossil ban

What are we?

Monkeys, hoarding shiny things?

"Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the wave of Russian asset freezes by Western countries that followed "marked a turning point" for the way central banks viewed gold, according to a report by Goldman Sachs Research. Central banks' purchases of gold have increased fivefold since the invasion began, and demand from governments is expected to remain high for some time to come, giving gold prices an "ongoing boost", the report said."

And I found this interesting too.

It seems connected to thunderstorms and "desert hurricanes" but I still wonder? Where it also makes me think of how our new night temperatures kills crops.
