We should be ashamed as a nation when our senior citizens are forced to continue working to make ends meet. European, Scandinavian countries, and others with less wealth make sure that adequate funds are available for their seniors to live a comfortable retirement that they earned. Not to mention that they put more money aside for education, for children’s welfare, daycare, healthcare, etc, before they invest on military equipment and the likes. We should take a page from them and put it into practice.

Ozone repaired, but global temperatures still rising at crazy rates. By the time it's fully repaired, who knows how high sea levels will be, or if polar ice caps is still a thing, or if fishing is still sustainable, or if there's enough trees after all the forest fires, or if mega storms haven't ravaged all the coastal cities.

But on the brighter side, there's hope that we can fix this.

Sad to see the number of people that don’t know the difference between holes in the ozone layer (caused by CFCs - where a hole in the ozone layer lets through more skin cancer causing UV rays)

and

Climate change (caused by greenhouse gases such as CO2, methane etc - produced by many industries in large quantities)

The first one (per the article) is actually getting better due to global action to reduce CFCs (yay less skin cancer, esp for those south on the globe).

The second is still getting worse.

Importantly, the ozone issue shows we can identify a problem and fix it. This is a great example of why we should listen to scientists.

This has happened to NHL players and they were back playing within a few weeks. If there's no brain damage and no heart defect that caused it, it's really just a freak thing and there's no reason to believe it'd happen again. Damar could play in the playoffs if the Bills make it far enough.
