A story like this instantly weeds out who is full of sh*t & who isn’t.
This is highly credible scientific data pointing towards the livable world ending by 2050.
Anyone not engaging with this is economically captured, high on their own supply or a well paid idiot.

I know
most people do not care
about viral threats
to humans or animals,
but in Greece a virus has killed
nearly 500,000
sheep and goats
imperiling the supply
of feta cheese,
so even if people do not care
about humans or animals
perhaps they’ll care
about viral threats to cheese.

French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.
Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.
Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

The recent cooling trend has pushed the official passing of the Paris limit of 1.5°C to late 2026 or early 2027. The Climate 8-Ball is taking the under.
