Literally...

You know what nobody talks about is that ALL the "models" have been blown out of the water in the last 10 years...Stuff they were telling us that wasn't gonna happen for 50-100 years is happening already. So ya, basically...it's not 2100 we gotta worry about, it's 2035-2040...

My 18 yr old daughter is now saying stuff like "we're all gonna die in 20 years, so fuckit"

It's terrifying AND heartbreaking. the Earth will recover long after she's been cleansed of US....I hope
