In 10 days it will almost be my late brother's birthday on 28.07. He passed away 2 weeks later just 5 months after Mum. I also lost my 18 y/o cat Toby. That was last year. 😔 Anyway, I've been having some difficulties with my mental health that I'm dealing with. I'll be back when things improve.

This is a terrifying prospect. Governments are completely ignoring forecast models and how close we already are to the temperatures predicted for 2050 in 2014 by the Met Office. There were 36 years between then and 2050. We are not even 18 years from the year of prediction, we are 12 years. 33.3%.
