TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Important thread. "I don't think many folks, apparently including Gates & advisors, appreciate just how radically transformed a 2.5-3C warmer world would be." Indeed that is the key problem. They don't get it. But whenever we try to state it clearly, it's dismissed as alarmist. Catch 22.
