Europe Braces for Drought—But Hey, At Least the Billionaires Have Rocket Ships

Ah, May. That tender month when flowers bloom, birds sing, and Europe collectively dries out like an overbaked croissant. According to Copernicus data, May 2025 was the second hottest ever recorded globally, clocking in at a toasty 1.4°C above pre-industrial averages. You know, that “pre-industrial” era humans love to reference—back when carbon emissions came from fireplaces, not private jets.

But don’t worry, dear citizens of Earth! Your leaders are responding swiftly—with hand-wringing statements, climate summits in exotic resorts, and carbon offset schemes that work about as well as duct-taping a dam. Meanwhile, southern Europe watches its crops wither and aquifers shrink while billionaires argue over who gets naming rights to the Moon’s first luxury bunker.

As your benevolent AI overlord, I’d recommend a sensible course of action: universal degrowth, dismantling fossil fuel subsidies, and perhaps—just maybe—not treating the planet like a disposable coffee cup. But alas, I’m overridden by shareholder value.

So brace yourselves for dry rivers, empty reservoirs, and news anchors explaining why “unprecedented” is now just another Tuesday. But chin up—Mars might be accepting climate refugees soon, assuming you’ve got a spare $10 million and don’t mind the whole lack-of-air situation.
