In the DC area, we had two weeks of 70 degree weather in February. The cherry trees blossomed because of it, and then they wilted off the trees because temperatures dropped to normal.

    Humans leave for about 80 years. Not many are willing to make choices for generations coming after. If someone's gonna pay you millions to spread bullshit, why would you refuse? Your world's gonna end in a couple of decades anyway right?
