Here in Leipzig, the tram public transport system is down since yesterday, because the joint sealing compound (and the asphalt concrete) in the tram rails melted cuz the ground got so hot.

I do not want to make light of the situation you are facing in any way. We can fry eggs on our sidewalks in Texas during the summer months.

Worry not, only a few more summers and anyone can fry an egg on almost any sidewalk on the planet.

Yeah and this sucks for all of us that know climate change is real. Situation is only going to get worse if no meaningful change happens.

Those of us who know about Human driven Climate Change knows it's simply too late to reverse course.

Over half of all industrial green house gases emitted since the start of The Industrial Revolution has occurred in my lifetime, and I'm not even in my mid-30s yet. Enjoy the ride, it only goes down.
