The appalling death toll of 43,000 from 2022's drought in Somalia would rank as the 4th deadliest weather-related disaster of the 21st century, using stats from EM-DAT. La Niña and hotter temperatures in recent years (https://t.co/b9G0A6Qnzm) are both key factors. https://t.co/g5HNSrG4nq pic.twitter.com/wRN345Fl8v — Jeff Masters (@DrJeffMasters) March 21, 2023 This dataset has tracked ocean sea surface temps since 1981.

Wharfie, You're the only person I've heard calling her a theologian. When the faculty of THEOLOGY bestows Saint Greta with an honorary degree, they are essentially calling her a "theologian." I would accept that IF she actually demonstrated any knowledge of theology or philosophy, even in the context of her environmentalism. Instead, she's all like, "This is ... this is ... the SCIENCE," while shrugging her shoulders. She doesn't have any clue as to why science is so important, why objective truth is so important in today's relativistic world, and why faith is still relevant even when it comes to science. There are a couple of Cornell professors that I knew who could answer those questions. Even Richard Dawkins, one of the premier atheists in the world, could answer those questions. They deserve honorary degrees in theology more than TIME's Puppet of the Year, even though like I said, they're atheists. Tenchusatsu
