So many tsunamis i observe everyday on my beach
We talked about leaded gasoline before in the 2021 thread.
Today, I came across this interesting video talking about its inventor
One thing that we did not mention in the previous discussion was that leaded gasoline is still allowed for piston-engine small aircraft. However, there are initiatives to phase that out:

“It is not enough for us to reference the science and then make agreements that ignore what the science is telling us we need to do,”
Maybe I am missing something, but isn’t this what they just did again? Was there actually a binding plan which they actually agreed to really implement, or was it an agreement “in principle” like this:

I think they want the political credit for appearing to do something positive, without the political burden for committing to do something positive

Ah, yes, the “creative inertia” … now that’s something that is not bound to change any time soon 
(on another “funny” note on that)

So …
… we have 2024 in some parts of this planet already …
(turn the sound on!)
Folks, friends, foes (haha really? Me, foes? 
Never!),
I wish for you that 2024 may become your very best year, so far!
And now … is there a thread already for 2024?
Because … if I were to make one, it might become something like …
“2024: Godzilla, Aliens, or simply like ‘2012’?”
You wouldn’t want that, would you?

Let me search which war ended (in a reasonable agreement for the near future)
Let me count the new ones
Let me see the ones on the verge to come in

So, do we have a thread already that’s fit as a continuation of this tradition?
(BTW, I can’t see how the title of this thread is “gloomy”—“You can’t stir the oatmilk back out of your coffee” isn’t gloomy, is it? )
You look so sure about this since last year. Did you have some scientific confirmation? Some proof! And what about in the future?

There seems to already be a 2024 thread started
I guess that’s a somewhat optimistic message, looking forward, but it does imply negativity about the ongoing situation.
I don’t think it’s necessary to continue the gloomy tradition.
Well, “you do you”, I’m not going to force yet another “gloomy” topic title unto y’all
BUT … I for one do NOT believe that realism plus a (IMHO healthy) sarcasm equal “gloomy” 
Maybe it’s my age, and that I have experienced quite a few revolutions around the star already …
When someone asks me: “How are you?”, and it’s not one of my best days, I like to reply, usually with a smile, “Well, every day above ground is a good day!”
Would that also be “gloomy” for you folks?
Here’s a nice comic by the awesome Nathan W. Pyle:
Anyway, shall we then close this thread and choose that other one to be THE thread for 2024?
