In the news

Late last night, as I was leaving the station, a photo of wildfire on a large digital billboard briefly tinted the train hall in a vibrant red. “United Nations: Earth on track for 2.8°C of warming.” The station was rather empty. I was almost by myself on a passageway usually bustling with hundreds of people. And so I was alone with this forecast. The sheer size of it made it register differently than reading it on a small screen.
The image was only visible for perhaps five seconds. In the ten minutes I waited for the segment to repeat other news and ads scrolled by repeatedly: EV charging infrastructure in Germany is improving; the Great Wall of China was built with rice, learn more; discover skiing in the dolomites; super hero movie; new robot vacuum.
