Surprised that I had to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll (x6) before finding this story on CNN - although admittedly on DM it was a tiny sized story and well off the ‘front page’, too.

THREE YEARS TO PEAK EMISSIONS


What are the chances? The Russians are still raping preteen girls and then murdering them and calling it and other war atrocities ‘fabricated’ and despite catalogues of video and photographs and testimonies of victims, Europe is still sucking down mother Russia’s gas.

We are all hopelessly addicted to carbon fuels and it is going to be the end of us. Given how we behave on the whole, this is maybe not a bad thing.


Anyone betting on a deus ex machina at the 11th hour?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
