Not only that, but the risks of snowballing because of major ecological breakdowns like the Amazon, in massive forest fires like in Canada and the chance that the methane stored in permafrost could escape once it melts, means that we might be talking of going from 3C to 4C.
Which is not fun.
Oh my god. Do you think this could have a noticeable impact on the economy? I hope shareholders won't be slightly inconvenienced in the short term. THAT is something we must avoid NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.
(I mean, what have future generations ever done for US, huh? It's their own fault if they're not yet alive enough to stop us from burning their planet.)
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.
This is a community for posting real-world examples of names that by coincidence are funny in context. A link to the article or site is preferable, as well as a screenshot of the funny name if it's not in the headline. Try not to repost, and keep it fun!
