The craziest part is that things have blown past the worst scenario models, and many are still asleep. Or even worse, think some magical, undiscovered technology will save everyone. The outlook is pretty grim for anyone still around during the second half of the century.

This has been clear for at least 20 years to anybody paying attention. I feel for those who will have to suffer this fate they didn’t cause nor ask for.

I certainly will! Thank you for the recommendation! I’m actually not far from their roaster, so it should be within the ideal range on arrival.

I have little faith that the increase will find its way to the people on the ground. I say this as a “coffee snob” that doesn’t buy beans from my favored region because the workers aren’t fairly compensated.

I made the same mistake without noticing the community. It is unfortunately on the forefront of my mind.

If they can sue for “damages,” then I believe that the rest of us should be able to form a class action suit. It is established that the fuel producers were aware of climate change caused by their product and saught to obfuscate the discourse surrounding it. This action has had actual measurable damages that would bankrupt them if they were actually held to account. The federal and state governments also have cause to sue because much of this burden has been borne by tax dollars. In fact, California should file a countersuit to recoupe the costs on public health, increased fire danger, economic losses caused by drought, lost tax income from early death, etc.
