Begins? We've been doing this almost every summer for years (except that one time there was a volcano eruption that helped a bit).

Maybe we should dump some stuff in volcanoes and anger the volcano gods.

Yeah, like some cheese! (I think right now we're just dumping fruits, vegetables, and tofu into the volcanoes to help with their GERD)

Indeed but the masses have been looking away or ignoring it the whole time. This is the beginning of society starting to get fucked. Soon the migrations will start. And the ones that can't relocate will suffer and become desperate. Desperate people do desperate things. There will be a snowball effect to this and it ain't gonna be cold.

We can only hope the masses are waking up. The migrations, chaos, and death have been a forgone conclusion for a very long time (possibly since Kyoto; certainly since Paris).
