These are beef cattle according to the article, not dairy cows. We know the answer on meat.

That (wilful?) cognitive dissonance is very widespread unfortunately.

I am having a hard time trying to get an investment advisor (of all people) to understand that these assets will be stranded, and I do not want any money getting close to them. All I get back is things like 'lovely sunny day', 'they're not that bad', 'you can have some fun with climate investing' (all quotes).

Exasperating.

Unfortunate choice of photo agreed, but it's call Death Valley for a reason.

Send them where the fashionable pitchforks are heading - tell them the weather is trans. That'll work.

“The carbon dioxide problem is the defining problem of our life, of our existence,” Varanasi says. “So clearly, we need all the help we can get.”

Indeed.

All $hit highly processed "foods" anyway. Better off without them.

Why I left there decades ago and have never gone back.

Toyota lost me permanently when they sided with Trump against California EV regs. Lots of other choices.

I remember bring so hopeful when they first landed it, and were getting it back to port. Remember Elon saying something like 'it feels like the dog that caught the bus'. Seems so long ago now!

I just finished The Deluge by Stephen Markley (all 900pp!)

It's basically a US-centric "narrative" of the 2030's, told from the PoV of about a dozen different characters, with the thread of climate change prominent throughout.

Really it's hard to describe it as good or bad, an enjoyable read etc. It is certainly well written, and characterisation is exceptionally good and detailed, but for me it was by turns scary, amusing, depressing, profoundly sad and wrenching in its humanity. I have no reason to doubt its accuracy based on the science.

It took me almost a month to read because I had to take breaks to get my "cognitive dissonance" recharged.

I would definitely recommend it.

It would make a good streaming series on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
