The difference between 1.5°C, 2°C or 3-4°C average global warming can sound marginal.

In fact, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity.

@lexfridman I love action games but assume if that level of violence/war was my reality I would basically be emotionally exhausted and incapacitated. So:

1. The Witness
2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
3. Forza
4. Planet Zoo
5. Splinter Cell (ok kinda violent but would be awesome haha)

@DominicFracassa or if social media accounts belonging to said people showed them doing really anything other than working... Of course hopefully this isn't the case but the story would certainly be drastically different if it were.

[Alando Ballantyne @alando46]

@DominicFracassa if the top overtime cop worked 2,080 regular + 3,133 hours of overtime last year, that's 5,213 total hours or 14+ hours per day every single day of the year. Does this seem possible?

[Alando Ballantyne @alando46]

@DominicFracassa Great reporting. As a reader I would be curious to know if we can get a records request on sick days or any other type of leave for top OT individuals (especially if they are higher-ups). If they took even a handful of days off I'd wonder if they actually worked the hours billed.
