That is powerful. Brought a tear to my eye.

And they put the CO2 ppm there....
We know what's causing it, we know how to mitigate that cause, we just can't be bothered to not make 100 people rediculously rich.

Ah, I thought this was familiar! Visited the Perlan museum in Reykjavik, Iceland where they had the same plaque on top of an actual block of ice they saved from the Ok glacier🥲
