Scientists have said climate breakdown caused by the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of unusually hot summers and winters with very low snow volume, which have caused the accelerating melts. The volume lost during the hot summers of 2022 and 2023 is the same as that lost between 1960 and 1990.

It will be rather interesting to see if we can shake our dependencies on destructive industries while maintaining some semblance of our current quality of life or if we'll cling to the wheel all the way off of this cliff.

Cling to the wheel until ecological/population collapse... 100%!
