Cool to see 1st hand that the is actually working:

This spring we got a 10kWp PV system on our roof and replaced our gas heating with a highly efficient air-source heat pump. Since a few days the heating season has started and even if it hasn't gone below 0C yet, I can still say: it works very well!

But see for yourself: currently at about 11am there is sunshine, and both heating, washing machine and the dishwasher are running.

Die Konsequenzen, die wir heute alle zu ertragen haben & auf uns zukommen: die Entscheidungen hierzu sind vollkommen bei klarem Bewutsein gefallen. Es gibt keinen Zweifel daran. Unsere Wahl ist klar: Wollen wir diese Konzerne rechtzeitig abwickeln, bevor der Schaden irreparabel wird, oder lassen wir uns von denen abwickeln"

"As Gabe Newell, billionaire founder of the game platform Valve, explained it to Wired: We're way closer to the Matrix than people realize. For Newell, the human body is a mere meat peripheral that is resistant to upgrades or repair and not at all reflective of consumer preference. Virtual reality will give users more choice (we'll hear that word a lot) over their perception and experience of the world. His goal is to create a virtual reality with such compelling texture and granularity that we stop measuring simulations by their fidelity to the real world. The real world will seem flat, colorless, blurry compared to the experiences you'll be able to create in peoples brains.

This will be especially valuable as the real world continues to degrade. VR developers even make an economic justice case for throwing us all into a simulation.
"It is not possible, on Earth, to give everyone all that they would want, Oculus Rift Chief Technology Officer John Carmack explained on the Joe Rogan podcast: Not everyone can have Richard Branson's private island. VR is the new solution to climate changeor maybe the ultimate surrender to its inevitability. As resources vanish and economic conditions worsen, technological simulations can fill in where real wealth has disappeared. The promise of VR is to make the world you wanted.

Last year, the oil and gas industry across the world banked about $4tn, according to the head of the International Energy Agency. This represents one of the biggest redistributions of wealth from the worlds poor to the richest petrostates.

Nonlinear El Nio impacts on the global economy under climate change

"we find a damaging impact from an El Nio which increases for a further three years after initial shock, amounting to multi-trillion US dollars in economic loss we attribute a loss of US$2.1 T and US $3.9 T globally to the 1997-98 and 2015-16 extreme El Nio events, far greater than that based on tangible losses. We find impacts from La Nia are asym-metric and weaker, and estimate a gain of only US$0.06 T from the 1998-99 extreme La Nia event. "

The UNGA Summit on Climate Change has highlighted the need for urgent action to save humanity from disaster.

The US, Europe, and China have suffered extreme heat in recent months.

Californian are bad for the world:
- their farming destroys the soil that it uses
- water shortage leeds to use of deeper, salinated water, which sometimes contains arsenic, a poison...

The wind pattern change that caused the change in when it happened was caused by climate change. The inversion phenomenon itself is normal, as is the temperature range, to a degree (no pun).
