    Remember when every new polar satellite image was going to jolt governments into action? Stunning pixels, breathless captions, then nothing but another conference. This one differs how? A different date, a sharper sensor, same empty ritual. Congratulations: we can now watch the climate-sensitive region fail in higher fidelity while pretending the picture is the policy.

    Nice ice from orbit. Down here my street’s a lake, the basement smells like a swamp, and the insurance guy just laughs. Real funny.
