The climate situation will bring gigadeaths if not modified.
Giga is the SI prefix for what Americans call a billion.
A strange etymological symmetry.
The recurring #SciFi #timetravel trope is of the size of modification of the past required to avert, or cause, a catastrophe.
In #TheEndOfEternity #Asimov had a character move a flask a few cm, leading to the abandonment, again, of #spacetravel
#convergence - some other Corsican makes the same effect - and #exclusionprinciples are other tropes.
