quote [ But it is, actually, worse than that — considerably worse. That is because the new report’s worst-case scenario is, actually, a best case. In fact, it is a beyond-best-case scenario. What has been called a genocidal level of warming is already our inevitable future. The question is how much worse than that it will get. ]

The world is becoming more like a phil dick story every day.
He has several where the Earth is experiencing overwarming due to man. IIRC "The Day Mr. Computer Fell Out Of Its Tree" references a future in 20xx where personal shielding is needed to go outside during the day time. |

Are you thinking of The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch?

I believe you are correct. Mr. computer mentions the earths ozone layer being burned off at the start of the story but doesnt really expand upon this.

Don't worry about it. The world is a physical paranoid projection of Mr Trump. When he dies, the world and everything in it will no longer exist either.

That's a common misconception. The Windfish is really a mammal.

When Trump refers to the climate, I wonder if he's thinking of the climate control air conditioning of the room he is in.

(Not a repost, but I realized after posting it might have been better as a comment on steele's post than as a follow-up. I think it's pretty important, but feel free to downmod if it makes you feel less depressed.)
