Humanity just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years, report says
Scientists have compared this year's climate-change fallout to "a disaster movie" - soaring temperatures, fierce wildfires, powerful storms and devastating floods - and new data is now revealing just how exceptional the global heat has been.

In the late 90’s my girlfriend worked in the office for an ice core climatologist, and her job was partly to screen out the crazies on the phone. Sometimes one would get through and she’d feel really bad.
Feel bad about???
Letting a crazy through
Through what exactly? Phone?
Yes. I'm confused at how this is confusing?
Generally a receptionist/secretary spends a significant part of their day screening calls.
But who was phone??
/s
Does she know what the red button on the phone does?
Letting a crazy through is usually a result of them acting normal with the receptionist, then going crazy once they get on the line with someone else. The end call button doesn't prevent that.
Can't they press the red button? This is literally the cyberbullying thing again, literally close your screen, walk away from the computer, press the red button, wtf
Yes, once the crazy person starts spouting their crazy the scientist they've connected to can hang up. but it's still embarrassing for a receptionist to accidentally let one get through.
I'm not sure why you're so confused about this.
Why is any of that a problem? A crazy dude comes up, gets by reception by not showing signs of an unhinged lunatic until he gets further down the line and then whenever someone is like yeah this dude's dumb, just click the red button it's not that hard and no one should feel bad about it. Except for the crazy fella of course.
It is confusing. I mean if she'd let crazy people walk in, yeah that'd suck since you can't make them disappear with a click of a button but phones literally have the red thing for these situations. None of this makes sense.

Yeah, if people stalk you around the internet and bully you, just don't use the internet, duh!
Oh good, well, at least you've outed yourself?
if people stalk you around the internet and bully you
How the hell would this happen? Change your username if you feel concerned. Or don't use the internet like you said.
at least you’ve outed yourself?
Outed myself as a what?
