I see
very few homeowners saying house prices need to drop. Escalator needs to slow down a bit is a euphemism for my lifestyle income is more important than you having a home you can afford (home = rented or owned).

lol I used it, and I rent, and don’t exactly have a massive “lifestyle income”.
But house prices dropped under the GFC. Big deal. Homeowners bitched for a couple of years, but shit was still in overdrive. A drop just puts them a few years behind the 8-ball, but if home ownership is a priority, then median incomes need to increase faster than house prices.

Pasadena, CA – Twenty-five years ago, NASA sent history’s first probe into the atmosphere of the solar system’s largest planet. But the information returned by the Galileo probe during its descent into Jupiter caused head-scratching: The atmosphere it was plunging into was much denser and hotter than scientists expected.
New data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft suggests that these “hot spots” are much wider and deeper than anticipated. The findings on Jupiter’s hot spots, along with an update on Jupiter’s polar cyclones, were revealed on December 11th, 2020, during a virtual media briefing at the American Geophysical Union’s fall conference.

Jackie Richter-Menge took this photograph north of Prudhoe Bay during her research trip in 1982. Sea ice there in 1982 was in places several years old and 30 feet thick. In 2018, there was open water and new ice perhaps two feet thick. (Photo by Jackie Richter-Menge)

The ineffable complexity of our world tends to bite us on the ass. We build our theories based on the parameters we know, assumptions, and a dash of hubris. Then Mother Nature comes along and bollixes up our hypotheses with parameters we weren’t aware of. Now it seems that massively planting greenery to sequester carbon dioxide cannot enable us to continue vomiting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
It can’t? No: As the CO2 concentration rises, its growth effect on plants has been diminishing – bigly. (Too soon?) The reduction has reached 50 percent progressively since 1982, write Prof. Josep Peñuelas of the Spanish National Research Council and Prof. Yongguan Zhang of the University of Nanjin with their teams in Science. Why? Because there are other constraints. “There is no mystery about the formula; plants need CO2, water and nutrients in order to grow. However much the CO2 increases, if the nutrients and water do not increase in parallel, the pla
