Excellent news. Well done Mexico for electing your first woman Jewish president who’s also left-wing & a climate scientist.

I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:
> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
