Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

While I believe making sure more people are aware that climate change is a big deal, especially people with money that can actually do something about it, I'm hesitant to rely on data in a dire warning from McKensey in what is basically a We're Hiring post.
Some tiny history of who McKensey is:
The firm has been associated with a number of notable scandals, including the collapse of Enron in 2001, the 2007–2008 financial crisis, and facilitating state capture in South Africa. It has also drawn controversy for involvement with Purdue Pharma, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and authoritarian regimes. Michael Forsythe and Walt Bogdanich, reporters for The New York Times, wrote a book entitled When McKinsey Comes to Town about the controversially unethical work history of the company.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
I had not anticipated "Oh shit that's a good point I should apply for a job with McKinsey" to be a takeaway that anyone would have to this post, let alone the assumed main takeaway from it.
Lol yeah I goofed pretty hard on that one
All good. I am chuffed that you were good-natured about it.
I even already had my coffee when I made the original comment. There was no excuse for my side fumbling.
