    Honestly surprised that everyone is surprised.

    We knew back in 1988 that this would eventually happen. And it will get worse. Species are going extinct at a much faster pace than any of the earlier great extinction events.

    Maybe we should finally lift the taboo on atomic power and start solving this problem.

    “Tumble” seems like a weird way to describe it. I’m thinking “climate records smashed”.
