๐ŸŒŽ Humanity is truly living its best ClimateCatch22 dream:

The hotter > The more ACs > The more Electricity consumption > The hotter

โ›ต Meanwhile the rich take advantage of the rising water levels, MOVING onto superyachts & forever cruiseships (for one last journey).

โ›ฝ Burning through a cool $1 million of diesel per refueling.
