IPCC report is out and it causes a meteorologist to break down in tears.
October 4, 2013 11:40 AM

This is powerful:

On his way home from San Francisco, Eric Holthaus tweeted: "I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO [San Francisco airport] while on phone with my wife. Ive never cried because of a science report before."

Two minutes later, Holthaus tweeted again: "I realised, just now: this has to be the last flight I ever take. I'm committing right now to stop flying. It's not worth the climate."

He said: "It felt like a hopeless moment to me to be completely honest. At that moment it hit me, as a citizen of the planet and as a human, not as a scientist.

"In the absence of a global coordinated carbon policy, I think it is going to be up to individuals, cities, and corporations to take action."

In any event, here's your 2013 IPCC report in all its glory.

We. Are. Doomed.
