A city hotter than parts of the Sahara becomes a headline for a day, then disappears under sport, politics and celebrity gossip.

It really feels like this so much! There were quite some sad climate news this year already, but except the heatwave in Europe, they all got buried by Hormuz strait news, like:

• collapse of AMOC now likely
• collapse of Thwaites now likely
• acceleration rate of warming almost doubled in the past decade to about 0.3 °C/decade

This is my first comment on a climate related post in a while. Also, with people in private life I pretty much stopped talking about it.

Inside, I still want to talk. But then, what to add to the discussion?

It feels like everything has been said. Many times. We understand the problem, we know what to do and what to stop doing.

It’s just not happening, is it?

And then I feel like retreating again and maybe have a drink or a joint.
