    Ah yes, of course. And as long as we iNdiViDuaLs recycle our trash and remember to turn off the light in the bathroom when we're not in there taking a shit, this whole "climate crisis" thing will just go away too. It's just that simple!

    Eat my entire ass and hair.

    If only there was some way for large groups of individuals to coordinate their actions. An institution perhaps. One that is might not work on itself but is the best placed centre from which to set up guidelines at this moment.

    In other news apparently Germany also has a new Chancellor. And it's some SPD loser.
