We past the threshold for taking action on climate change several years, if not decades, ago. Meaning that even if we had zero emissions starting tomorrow we are already doomed to face wars over food and water. We can do everything within our power, but melting ice caps, thawing tundra, and wild fires will displace so much CO2 that nothing we can presently do will help.

We'd be better off focusing on new technologies for producing food and drinking water rather than focusing on climate actions. Carbon capture might be a potential solution, but not until we get rid of the idea of carbon offsets, as those are just a worthless ploy to allow polluters to continue to pollute.

Kim Jong Un continuing the charade that he's important and not to be provoked. North Korea is useless and important only because of the history of aggressive behavior and capability of nuking. In the end that's pointless because what good is it for Un if he gets obliterated after causing an international scene involving many deaths.
