We're all gonna die. This weather tracker account says records are falling everywhere, every day this year:

The Moroccan city of Tangier is the next record victim: With a minimum
temperature of 18.3C, it destroyed the record of the hottest March
night on record. In Algeria some records beaten these days are above
those of MAY and rare in June.

Major infrastructure systems around the world are already at the brink. Remember how low the Thames was last year? There’s no reason to suspect it will improve this year.

Places like Mexico City, a sprawling megalopolis home to 23 million people with net worths ranging from £1 to £80 billion, have been experiencing ever worsening water shortages for years. Their Day Zero, when the entire water system is expected to run dry, was in 2028; now, due to extreme region-wide drought, they’ve recalculated their Day Zero to be 26 June 2024.

What happens when 23 million people can no longer get water in the middle of a tropical summer?

Dasani will start trucking in the bottles they filled upstream from the same supply, and auctioning them?

Or they'll sell them at a "reasonable" price but use it to convince people the state can't manage it's own water supply and should privatise it.
